Fairborn City Jail Inmate and Custody Lookup

Fairborn City Jail Overview

Fairborn City Jail is operated by the Fairborn Police Department at 70 W Hebble Avenue, Fairborn, OH 45324. The police department's public phone is (937) 754-3000, with fax listed as (937) 754-3070 and a tip line listed as (937) 754-3018. Official Fairborn annual reports identify the jail as a 12-day jail inspected under Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction minimum jail standards. That classification is the key fact for searchers: Fairborn is a municipal short-term facility, not the county's main full-service jail and not a state prison.

The jail's role is tied to Fairborn Municipal Court and the local police geography around Fairborn, Beavercreek, Bath Township, Wright State University, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base traffic, and nearby agencies. The 2019 Fairborn Police annual report states the jail primarily confined people awaiting trial or arraignment in Fairborn Municipal Court and also acted as an intake facility for initial arrests by Fairborn Police, Beavercreek Police, Wright State University, Grandview Medical Center, the Village of Enon, and other agencies that needed housing for prisoners for Fairborn Municipal Court.

The Fairborn Police Department page is the matched contact source for Fairborn City Jail and its police department context.

This image supports the facility contact block, but it does not provide a public jail roster or a complete jail service handbook.

Fairborn City Jail Capacity and Population

No official bed capacity for Fairborn City Jail was located in accessible Fairborn sources. That gap should remain visible because guessing a bed count would mislead readers. The best sourced population figure is from the Fairborn Police 2019 annual report, which states that 2,165 total prisoners were housed that year. The same report breaks that annual total into 1,524 Fairborn prisoners, 429 Beavercreek prisoners, 201 Greene County hold-for-court prisoners, and 11 Wright State University prisoners. Those are annual throughput figures, not a daily population or bed capacity.

The 2022 Fairborn Police annual report again identifies the facility as a 12-day jail, inspected annually, and recognized as compliant with mandated Ohio jail standards. Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 5120:1-10 governs 12-day jails, which are different from full-service county jails. A 12-day jail is built around short-term incarceration limits and court processing, so a person may move from Fairborn custody to release, Fairborn Municipal Court, or Greene County Jail depending on the charge, bond, hearing timing, and court order.

How to Look Up Someone Connected to Fairborn City Jail

Fairborn has a Miami Valley Jails page, but it returned no provider or record rows during research. Do not treat it like the Greene County Jail provider page unless it later shows active Fairborn records. For most Fairborn City Jail searches, use a fallback chain: call Fairborn Police for immediate custody questions, search Fairborn Municipal Court for the court case, and search Greene County Jail if the person may have been transferred to county custody.

The Fairborn Municipal Court search page is the strongest official court-search source for cases connected to Fairborn City Jail.

That court form can help identify hearing, filing, ticket, and case-number paths after a municipal jail booking, but it is not a live custody roster.

1. Start with the Fairborn Police Department phone if the question is immediate municipal custody, recent arrest, or whether the person has been moved.
2. Search Fairborn Municipal Court by name, case number, ticket number, hearing date, or file date when a case has been filed or scheduled.
3. Search the Greene County Jail OCV inmate-search page and Miami Valley Jails Greene County provider page if the person may have been transferred to county jail.
4. If the person was sentenced to an Ohio prison, use the ODRC Offender Search rather than Fairborn or county jail pages.
5. If the case involves federal sentenced custody, federal pretrial custody, or immigration detention, use BOP, USMS district context, or ICE ODLS as the appropriate non-local path.

Fairborn Municipal Court search fields include Name/Company, Case Number, Ticket Number, Hearing Date, File Date, and Show Matches. The court's search tips say a name search should be as specific as possible, full-name searches should use last name followed by comma and first name, and case or ticket number searches use numbers only. Submitting the form is reCAPTCHA-protected, so the court search is a case lookup route, not a bulk roster export.

Once a Fairborn arrest moves out of municipal custody, Sheriff Scott Anger's Greene County Jail roster may become the better custody source. The Greene County Ohio Sheriff app exists as a sheriff communication channel, but no app-only inmate search was confirmed. For sentenced Ohio prison custody use ODRC Offender Search; for federal sentenced custody use the BOP inmate locator; and for immigration detention use ICE ODLS.

Fairborn City Jail Address and Contact

Use Fairborn Police Department contact information for Fairborn City Jail questions. For court dates, bond entries, docket filings, or arraignment status, Fairborn Municipal Court is often the better source after the initial arrest stage. For longer custody or transfer questions, the Greene County Jail and sheriff roster may become the correct place to search.

Visiting Someone at Fairborn City Jail

No separate public visitation schedule, visitor application, video-visitation vendor page, mail room rule set, or commissary rule set was located for Fairborn City Jail. That is consistent with the facility's municipal 12-day role, but it does not mean visits are impossible. It means the official accessible research did not provide public rules detailed enough to publish a schedule. Call Fairborn Police before traveling and confirm whether the person is still held there, whether they have been transferred, and whether any visit, property, attorney, or court movement is pending.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Fairborn City Jail

Official Fairborn sources did not provide a separate inmate-mail format, jail phone provider, commissary system, money-deposit vendor, tablet service, or fee table for Fairborn City Jail. Because it is a municipal 12-day jail, a person may not remain there long enough for the kinds of mail, commissary, and long-term communication systems used in larger county jails. The honest instruction is to verify with Fairborn Police before mailing anything, attempting a deposit, or relying on an outside vendor.

Booking and Intake at Fairborn City Jail

Fairborn's jail records should be read in the context of municipal intake and Fairborn Municipal Court. A person arrested by Fairborn Police or another agency using Fairborn Municipal Court housing may be booked for short-term custody while awaiting trial, arraignment, release processing, or transfer. Fairborn's 2019 annual report specifically names Fairborn Police, Beavercreek Police, Wright State University, Grandview Medical Center, the Village of Enon, and other regional agencies as sources of initial arrests or housing needs tied to Fairborn Municipal Court.

Ohio 12-day jail standards differ from the full-service jail standards that govern the county jail. The maximum custody span and short-term role explain why a searcher may need to move quickly between police contact, court docket, and county jail lookup. If a Fairborn case becomes a felony path, the municipal court may handle preliminary steps while later felony prosecution and court records move into the Greene County Common Pleas system.

Fairborn Court and Records Paths

Fairborn Municipal Court serves Fairborn, Bath Township, Beavercreek, and Beavercreek Township. It handles preliminary hearings in felony cases, traffic and non-traffic misdemeanors, civil disputes up to stated limits, and small claims. Its bond schedule states there is a presumption of personal bond for misdemeanor charges unless a statute provides otherwise, and that a judge or magistrate will set bond where personal recognizance is insufficient or where specific categories of charges or victim-safety concerns require conditions. The court schedule also says a surety bond may be posted instead of cash bond if the surety is approved by the Fairborn Municipal Court Clerk.

The Fairborn Police records-request page says requesters should include relevant dates and times, description of requested video, and identifying information. It states that an estimated cost will be provided within five business days, payment is required before processing begins, and accepted payment methods are cash or personal check, with identification required for checks. This is a police-records route; court docket records still belong with the court, and county-jail custody records belong with the sheriff or county public-records process after transfer.

About Fairborn City Jail

Fairborn City Jail should not be described as a long-term detention center. The strongest official facility sources are Fairborn Police annual reports, not a public jail-service handbook. The Fairborn Police annual reports page is the source path for the reports that identify the jail as a 12-day facility and document its annual activity.

The report source is important because it supplies the jail's classification and annual prisoner count, while the live custody and service details remain limited in public web sources.

Local context also matters. Fairborn sits in the northwestern part of Greene County near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Wright State University, Beavercreek, and Bath Township. That geography helps explain why the municipal jail's annual report described intake from several agencies needing Fairborn Municipal Court housing. A person connected to a Fairborn arrest may therefore have records in more than one place: police records, municipal court records, county jail records if transferred, common pleas records if the case becomes a felony, and ODRC records if later sentenced to state prison.
