Public Access to Washington County Booking Reports

The law requires law enforcement agencies to release jail register data to anyone who asks. This includes each person's name, the charges against them, the date and time of booking, who ordered the commitment, a physical description, and the date of release. You do not have to explain why you want the records.

If a request is denied, you can appeal to the Oklahoma Attorney General. You also have the option of filing in Washington County District Court.

Mugshots taken during booking are part of the public record as well. Some agencies try to withhold booking photos, but the law treats them the same as any other piece of jail register information.
