How we count

Source: Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office public booking roster. Counts cover the bookings published on this site with a September 2026 booking date, so they are bookings published on Emerald Coast Bookings, not the sheriff’s official total. Charge groups are our own sorting of the charge text the sheriff lists. We do not change the charges. Official county records are the authority. See our Editorial Standards and Corrections page.
