The sheriff is responsible for all unincorporated areas and assists local police departments with arrests that end up in the county jail. Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, Title 51 O.S. § 24A.1 et seq., all booking records and arrest data from the sheriff's office are public. The law covers names, charges, booking dates, arresting officer names, and physical descriptions of arrestees.
