Midwest City Arrest Records and the Law
Booking records in Midwest City are public. The Oklahoma Open Records Act, found at Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, requires law enforcement agencies to make arrest logs and booking information available for public inspection. This applies to both the city police and the county sheriff.

Anyone can request these records. You do not need a reason. Walk into the police department during business hours, or send a written request. The agency has a reasonable time to respond.

Some records get sealed. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 18, Oklahoma courts can expunge arrest records in certain cases. If charges were dismissed or the person was acquitted, they may petition for expungement. Once granted, the booking record is removed from public view.
