The sheriff's office keeps these records on file and provides access to the public under Oklahoma's open records laws. You can make requests in person at the office in Muskogee during regular hours.
Muskogee County has comprehensive records systems. The county sits at a crossroads of several highways and law enforcement agencies, so booking data may come from city police, the sheriff's patrol, state troopers, or tribal law enforcement operating in the area.
