Shawnee police make arrests and transport people to the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center for booking. The city does not operate its own jail.

Pottawatomie County Jail and Shawnee Bookings
The Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center at 14209 US Highway 177 in Shawnee is where arrests are booked. Call 405-273-0043 for jail information. The facility takes in people from Shawnee police, the county sheriff, and other local agencies in Pottawatomie County.
The county runs an online inmate portal at pcpsct.org where you can check current inmates. There is also a search tool through the Bluhorse inmate system. Both tools show who is in custody right now. You can search by name and see charges, booking dates, and bond information. The roster changes frequently as people bond out or get released.
For a Shawnee arrest, start with the county inmate portal. It is the quickest way to see if someone is still held. If the person has been released, you will need to use other tools to find their records. The county jail does not keep an online archive of past bookings. Past records require a request through the sheriff's office or a search on OSCN for the court case.
Note: The Pottawatomie County inmate portal reflects current custody only and does not include people who have already bonded out or been released.
