Oklahoma Open Records and Comanche County

Oklahoma law makes booking releases a public record. Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8 says that arrest records, jail registers, and booking information must be open to the public. This applies to every county in the state, including Comanche County. You do not have to give a reason for your request. The law is clear on that point.

The Oklahoma Attorney General's Office oversees compliance with open records rules. If an agency turns down your request or makes it hard to get records, you can file a complaint with the AG. The AG has said that booking information, arrest records, and jail rosters are generally public and must be shared under the law. Some things can be held back, like medical records, info that would hurt jail security, and details from open investigations. But the basic booking data for Comanche County releases has to be available.
