Miami Valley Regional Jail Network

Logan County is part of the Miami Valley Regional Jail network. This system shares booking and custody data across several counties in the region. The roster updates twice per hour, so the info is close to real time. If you search and get no results, it could mean the person has been released or is held at a different facility. People arrested in Logan County may sometimes get housed in other jails due to overcrowding or special needs.

The network gives smaller counties like Logan access to shared technology that would cost too much to run alone. It also helps track inmates who move between facilities in the region. Public records rules under ORC Section 149.43 apply to all data in the system. The sheriff also posts a Most Wanted list on the website. If you know where a fugitive is, you can report it to the Logan County Sheriff.
