Tulsa Police Department Arrest Records

The Tulsa Police open records page details the request process and fees for getting copies of arrest reports.

Tulsa PD is one of the largest police forces in Oklahoma. They make thousands of arrests each year. Their records division keeps files on every arrest, citation, and incident report. If you need older records, the department can search their archives, though it may take longer and cost more depending on how far back you need to go.

Tulsa Jail Bookings and Inmate Search

Everyone arrested by Tulsa Police goes to the David L Moss Criminal Justice Center for booking. The facility opened in 1997 and sits on North Denver Avenue. It has 1,714 beds and runs 24 hours a day. A court clerk office inside the jail is also open around the clock, which speeds up the initial hearing process.

The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office runs the jail. You can call (918) 596-5600 to ask about an inmate's custody status. The jail does not post mugshots on its public-facing search tools. You will get name, booking date, charges, and bond information, but no photos through the standard search. For mugshots, you may need to file a separate records request with the sheriff's office.

The Tulsa Police website connects to department divisions, public safety resources, and records request information.

The jail also works with the VINELink system for custody notifications. Call 877-654-8463 to check status by phone. You can register for alerts so you know when someone's custody status changes.

Tulsa Arrest Records in Court

After a Tulsa arrest, the case goes to Tulsa County District Court. Free court record searches are available at OSCN and ODCR. Both sites let you search by name or case number. Filter by Tulsa County to see local cases. Dockets show charges, hearing dates, plea entries, and case outcomes.

These court searches are completely free. No account needed. OSCN is the official Oklahoma State Courts Network and covers every district court in the state. ODCR pulls the same data but formats it differently. Some people find one easier to use than the other. For Tulsa arrest records specifically, either site works well since Tulsa County courts are fully covered.

Arrest Records Access in Tulsa

Title 51 Section 24A-8 of the Oklahoma Open Records Act gives the public a right to access most arrest records. That includes booking info, charges, and bond amounts. You can ask for these records from the Tulsa Police Department or the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office. The law does not require you to explain why you want the records.

Some Tulsa arrest records are not public. Juvenile records stay confidential under Title 10A Section 2-6-102. Expunged records under Title 22 Sections 18 through 19 are removed from public databases. If someone gets their Tulsa arrest expunged, it will not show up in OSCN, ODCR, or the jail roster anymore. Medical information and social security numbers are redacted from public versions of booking records even when the rest of the file is open to the public.

The OSBI CHIRP portal runs formal criminal history checks under Title 74 Section 150.9. A search costs $15 and covers serious misdemeanors and felonies across all of Oklahoma. Results are PDF files that include fingerprint-based arrest data. This is a good option if you need a statewide check that goes beyond what the Tulsa County jail roster shows.
