Public Records Law and Sequoyah County Booking Reports

Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, Title 51, Section 24A.8, booking reports are public records that must be released upon request. The law specifically covers jail blotter information: the person's name, date and time of commitment, charges, physical description, who ordered the commitment, and discharge date. You do not need to give a reason for wanting the data.

The Open Records Act applies to all Oklahoma law enforcement agencies, including the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Office.

If the sheriff's office denies your request, you have legal options. File a complaint with the Oklahoma Attorney General or take the matter to Sequoyah County District Court. Agencies that violate the Open Records Act face potential penalties, which is why most comply with routine booking data requests.
