Hillsboro Quick Facts
Hillsboro Arrests and the County Jail
Hillsboro Police Department handles law enforcement within city limits. Officers make arrests for crimes ranging from minor offenses to serious felonies. After an arrest, the person goes to the Washington County Jail. Hillsboro does not have its own jail. This pattern is the same for most Oregon cities.
The Washington County Jail is at 215 SW Adams Avenue in Hillsboro. Since Hillsboro is the county seat, the jail is actually within city limits. The Washington County Sheriff's Office runs the facility and processes all bookings. When Hillsboro police bring someone in, jail staff record the person's name, charges, booking time, and bail amount. That data goes into the county system and becomes part of the Hillsboro jail roster record.
Other agencies also book people into this same jail. Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin, and Sherwood police all use the Washington County facility. The jail roster covers every booking from every agency in the county. Oregon public records law under ORS 192.314 gives you the right to view this data.
Hillsboro Jail Roster Online Tool

The tool shows everyone currently in Washington County custody. Each listing includes the inmate's name, charges, booking date, and scheduled court date if available. The county also provides a 24-hour arrest log that shows recent bookings.
