It is the main jail for the county and one of the largest in the state. When someone gets arrested in Tulsa County, they are brought here for processing.

Search Tulsa County Booking Records Online
Tulsa County gives you several ways to search booking records online. The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office jail page is the main source. It lets you search by name and view the current inmate roster. You can see booking IDs, charges, and custody status. The data updates throughout the day as new bookings come in and people bond out or get released.
The City of Tulsa also runs a separate jail for municipal arrests. The Tulsa Inmate Information Center covers the municipal jail at 600 Civic Center. This is different from the county jail. City arrests for misdemeanors often go through the municipal facility first. If you cannot find someone at the county jail, check the city system too. The municipal bonds office can be reached at 918-596-9253.
For court records, the Oklahoma State Courts Network covers Tulsa County District Court cases. It is free. Search by name or case number to see filings, docket entries, and case outcomes. You can also use ODCR to look up docket sheets and court dates specific to Tulsa County.
Note: The county jail and city jail are separate facilities with separate booking systems.
Tulsa County Jail Information Portal
The Tulsa County Sheriff runs a jail information page at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center site. It provides inmate search, booking ID lists, and details about the facility.
This page is the fastest way to check who is in custody at the Tulsa County jail. The roster shows each person's name, charges, and booking date. It is open to the public at no cost and works on phones and computers.

Tulsa County VINE Notification Service
Tulsa County participates in Oklahoma VINE, which stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. This is a free service that lets you track someone's custody status at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center. You can register by phone or online. When the person's status changes, you get an alert. That includes bonding out, transferring to another facility, or getting released.
The Tulsa County Sheriff's VINE page explains how to sign up. Call 877-654-8463 to register by phone. The service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is confidential.

Tulsa Police Department Booking Records
The Tulsa Police Department maintains its own records separate from the county. The police keep a jail blotter for 30 days. After that, you go through the municipal court clerk to get older records. The Records Section charges $3 for 10 pages or less. You can reach them at 918-596-9286 for help with requests.
Tulsa PD handles arrests within the city limits. Those bookings may go to the municipal jail first before a person transfers to the county facility.

Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, you can request copies of these records. The police follow the same 72 hour booking rules as the county Sheriff.
Conviction info for Tulsa County cases is also available through the OSCN court records system. It pulls from District Court filings and shows outcomes for criminal cases.
Tulsa County Booking Records and the Law
Oklahoma law makes booking records public. Under 51 O.S. 24A.5, arrest records and booking data are open records. Anyone can request them. You do not need a reason. The 72 hour posting requirement under 51 O.S. 24A.8 says jails must publish booking info within three days of an arrest. Tulsa County follows this rule at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center.
Some records may be limited. Under 51 O.S. 24A.17, law enforcement can hold back records tied to active investigations if release would hurt the case. But basic booking data in Tulsa County, like name, charges, and arrest date, is nearly always available right away. The county processes a high volume of bookings, so the data turns over fast.
Statewide Search Tools
Beyond the Tulsa County jail, Oklahoma has state-level databases you can use. The OSBI CHIRP portal runs criminal history checks through the State Bureau of Investigation. It covers all 77 counties and charges a fee. The Oklahoma DOC offender lookup shows people in state prison. If someone from Tulsa County went to a state facility after sentencing, you can track them there for free.
The Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry is another state tool that covers Tulsa County residents. You can search it online at no cost. For broader records, the Public Index for Tulsa County links to arrest records and other public data sources.
