How to Contact an Inmate at Butler County Jail, OH (OH)

The Butler County Sheriff's Office offers a text-based crime tip line: text the keyword "COPS" along with your tip to 274637 (CRIMES). This is a tip line for the Sheriff's Office, not a direct inmate messaging service. That said, it can be useful if you need to pass time-sensitive information to law enforcement.

You may also come across CashPay's text-to-barcode option, where you text your consumer ID to 502-410-3373 to receive a barcode on your smartphone. This can be part of a payment workflow, but the available evidence describes CashPay's service in general terms. It does not specifically confirm that this number works for Butler County Jail inmate accounts.

Note: The "COPS" to 274637 (CRIMES) tip line comes from the Butler County Sheriff's Office. The CashPay text number (502-410-3373) comes from CashPay directly and is not confirmed here as a Butler County Jail deposit option, so verify before using it for anything payment-related.

How to Contact an Inmate at Butler County Jail, OH (OH)

Steps to Follow

  • To submit a tip to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, text “COPS” plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES).
  • To receive a CashPay barcode by text, send a text message to 502-410-3373 with your consumer ID.

Before you use the tip line, confirm the keyword and shortcode are still active and that this is the right channel for what you're reporting. Tip-line details can change. Check the Butler County Sheriff's Office official site or call their public information contact to confirm the current process.

For CashPay, verify that Butler County Jail actually uses CashPay for inmate funds and that the barcode-by-text process applies to the jail's accounts (not a different kind of bill payment). Also confirm any fees and the correct deposit steps through the jail's official deposits/commissary information, or by calling the facility directly.

Safety reminder: Don't rely only on SMS instructions for payments or sensitive information. Confirm you're using an official, current channel, and avoid sending personal details by text unless you're sure it's the correct number.
