You can call at any hour to check if a person is in custody or to get basic booking facts.

Each year, Harmon County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain about 460 people. The jail holds an average of 23 inmates on any given day. Most people held here are on short stays, either released on bail or serving sentences of 90 days or less. The weekly turnover rate sits at roughly 55 percent, so the jail population changes fast.

Arrest Records Laws in Harmon County

Oklahoma's Open Records Act under Title 51 Section 24A-8 makes most arrest records public. Anyone can ask for booking info, charges, bond amounts, and mugshots. You do not have to be the person arrested or a crime victim to make a request. The law sets the copy fee at $0.25 per page.

Some records stay sealed. Juvenile arrest records are kept private under Title 10A Section 2-6-102. There are exceptions for felonies and for repeat offenders who are 14 or older, but most youth records do not show up in public searches. Records that have been expunged under Title 22 Sections 18 and 19 are also removed from the system. Medical data and Social Security numbers are stripped from any records before they go out to the public.

If you think your Harmon County arrest record should be sealed, hire a lawyer who handles expungement cases. The process can take one to two years. The lawyer files a petition with the court, and the district attorney's office reviews it. OKLaw has a free guide that explains the steps involved.
