Tulsa County Recent Bookings

Tulsa County recent bookings are searchable through the Inmate Information Center at iic.tulsacounty.org. The system covers the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, the main Tulsa County Jail, which holds over 2,000 people and processes arrests from Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, and all other agencies across the county. The IIC lets you search by full or partial name and returns a booking index with IDs, dates, and inmate details. This page covers how to use the Tulsa County inmate search, what the records include, VINE alerts, and related state resources.

Tulsa County Recent Bookings via the IIC

The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office runs the Inmate Information Center at iic.tulsacounty.org. This is the primary tool for searching Tulsa County recent bookings. The system accepts full names or partial names. For example, entering "Har" will return results for Harell, Harold, Harlan, and any other name starting with those letters. Search results show the booking index, which includes booking IDs, booking dates, inmate names, gender, and facility assignment. This partial-name search capability makes the Tulsa County IIC more flexible than some other county systems in Oklahoma.

The David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center (DLMCJC) at 300 N. Denver Avenue in Tulsa opened in 1997. It was originally built with 1,714 beds. Since then, expanded mental health units and open dorm-style housing have pushed the total to 2,020 beds. The facility houses both male and female detainees in a medium/maximum security setting. The jail is operated by the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office and handles bookings from all law enforcement agencies in the county, including Tulsa Police, Broken Arrow Police, Owasso Police, and the many smaller municipal departments operating in one of Oklahoma's most populated counties. The detention division's full information is available at tcso.org. The IIC booking system is separate from the main sheriff's site but draws data from the same source. Searches can be done by first name, last name, or a combination.

The Tulsa County Inmate Information Center at iic.tulsacounty.org is run by the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office and provides the primary public interface for searching recent bookings and current inmates at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center.

The Tulsa Police Department at tulsapolice.org is the largest source of bookings processed at the David L. Moss jail, accounting for a substantial share of daily Tulsa County recent bookings.

How to Use the Tulsa County Inmate Search

Go to iic.tulsacounty.org. The search form accepts first name, last name, or both. Partial name entries work well. If you type a last name like "Smith" you will get every Smith currently in custody. If you type "Sm" you will get Smith, Smits, Smythe, and so on. This partial match system reduces the impact of spelling errors in booking records, which is a practical feature for a large facility. Results come back as a booking index showing each person's booking number, booking date, name, gender, and facility. Click through to see the full record for any individual.

For court case records connected to a Tulsa County arrest, the Oklahoma State Courts Network at OSCN.net is the standard tool. Tulsa County District Court is one of the most active courts in the state. Select Tulsa County from the OSCN dropdown and search by name or case number. OSCN shows whether charges were formally filed after an arrest, current case status, and all docket entries. Charges typically appear in OSCN within a few business days of the arrest. If you need court records for a Tulsa County case but cannot find them in OSCN, contact the Tulsa County Court Clerk's office directly.

Note: The IIC shows current inmates at David L. Moss. People held at other facilities or transferred out of county will not appear there.

What Tulsa County Booking Records Include

Under Oklahoma's Open Records Act at Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, county jails are required to maintain jail registers as public records. The legally required data includes the inmate's name, the date and cause of commitment, the committing authority, whether the commitment is for a criminal charge, a physical description, and the date of discharge. The Tulsa County IIC satisfies this requirement through its publicly accessible booking database.

A typical Tulsa County booking record from the IIC shows the inmate's name, booking number, booking date, gender, and facility assignment. As the case progresses, bond amounts, court dates, and case numbers become linked to the booking record. The IIC booking index format is well-suited for a high-volume facility because it allows multiple booking records to appear under one name if the person has been booked more than once. Each booking number is unique and links to its own record. This structure reflects the large and complex booking activity at the David L. Moss jail, which is one of the busiest detention facilities in the state.

VINE Alerts for Tulsa County Custody Changes

Tulsa County participates in the statewide VINE network. Because David L. Moss is a high-volume facility with frequent releases, transfers, and court movement, VINE registration is especially useful for people tracking a specific inmate. To register, go to vinelink.vineapps.com or call 877-654-8463. Find the person in the VINE system by name, then enter your phone or email to receive automatic alerts. VINE alerts cover releases, transfers, and escapes. The service is free, runs around the clock, and is offered in English and Spanish.

For a county the size of Tulsa, the combination of the IIC inmate search and VINE registration gives the most complete picture of custody status without requiring repeated calls to the jail or visits to the facility.

State and Federal Resources for Tulsa County

When a Tulsa County inmate is transferred to state custody after a conviction, use the Oklahoma Department of Corrections Offender Lookup at okoffender.doc.ok.gov. The DOC database covers all state facilities and includes photos, conviction data, current location, and release projections. You can also reach it through the ODOC offender portal. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at osbi.ok.gov provides full criminal history records through the CHIRP name-based search system, which is broader than what any single booking record shows. Sex offenders in Tulsa County are tracked in the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry. For federal cases, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator covers people held at federal facilities rather than the county jail.

Open Records Requests for Tulsa County Bookings

For records not available through the IIC, submit a formal request under the Oklahoma Open Records Act to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office. Under Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, any person may inspect and copy jail registers and law enforcement records not specifically exempt. Contact the Tulsa County Sheriff at the detention division or through the main sheriff's website at tcso.org. The facility is reachable at 918-596-8900. For Tulsa County court records, the District Court clerk holds case files and charges a per-page fee for copies. OSCN.net provides free access to case dockets. Historical records can be requested from the Oklahoma Archives Division. The RCFP guide to Oklahoma open records is a helpful plain-language reference for navigating the process.

Cities in Tulsa County

Tulsa County is the most populous county in northeastern Oklahoma and home to several large cities. Tulsa is the county seat and the state's second-largest city. Broken Arrow is a major suburb southeast of Tulsa with its own active police department. Owasso sits in the northern part of the county and has grown substantially in recent years. Bixby and Jenks are smaller cities along the Arkansas River corridor south of Tulsa. All police departments in these cities route arrests to the David L.
