Garfield County 72 Hour Booking Law
Oklahoma's 72 hour booking rule is part of the Open Records Act at 51 O.S. 24A.5. The law says that when someone is arrested and booked, the record must become public within 72 hours. Garfield County follows this rule through its online roster and PDF reports. The detention center posts new bookings as they happen, which often means records go public well before the 72 hour deadline.
Under 51 O.S. 24A.8, law enforcement must keep a detention register that tracks all people in custody. This register is a public record. Juvenile records are the main exception. Cases that have been sealed or expunged are also kept out of public view. But for standard adult arrests in Garfield County, all booking data is open for anyone to see. If an agency fails to share public records, 51 O.S. 24A.17 gives you the right to seek a court order forcing them to comply.
