Tulsa County Inmate Information Center
The primary search tool for Tulsa County recent arrests is the Inmate Information Center at iic.tulsacounty.org. This is run by Tulsa County and gives you real-time results for anyone currently in custody at the David L. Moss facility. Enter a name and the system returns matching inmates with booking dates, charges, bond amounts, and next court dates.
The Inmate Information Center updates constantly. New bookings appear as they are processed. This makes it the fastest way to check if someone was just arrested in Tulsa County. The search is free and does not require registration. You can also browse the roster without searching a specific name, which is useful if you want to see all recent bookings.
The City of Tulsa runs a separate inmate search at cityoftulsa.org for people held at the city jail rather than the county facility. If you are looking for someone arrested by Tulsa police specifically, check both the county and city tools. Many city arrests end up at the county jail, but some are processed through the city system first.
Note: The Tulsa County Inmate Information Center shows current inmates only; released individuals are removed from the search results.
Tulsa County Arrest Records on OSCN
OSCN at oscn.net is the free state court records system. Tulsa County is one of the busiest counties on OSCN, with thousands of criminal cases filed every year. Search by name and you can see all cases tied to that person in Tulsa County, including charges, hearing dates, plea deals, and verdicts. OSCN records are permanent. They do not disappear when someone leaves jail.
The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office main page links to patrol, detention, and records services for the county.
Tulsa County is part of the 14th Judicial District. The district court handles a massive caseload. Because of the volume, there can be a short delay between an arrest and the case appearing on OSCN. Most cases show up within a few business days after the district attorney files charges. OSCN is the best long-term resource for Tulsa County arrest records because it stores every case permanently and shows the full timeline from filing to disposition.
OSBI Criminal History for Tulsa County
OSBI CHIRP at chirp.osbi.ok.gov provides a statewide criminal history report for $15. This includes every Tulsa County arrest reported to the state. If someone has arrests in Tulsa County and other Oklahoma counties, the report shows all of them on one page. You get dates, charges, and case outcomes. CHIRP pulls from law enforcement data, so it can include arrests that never made it to court.
For Tulsa County, with its high arrest volume, CHIRP is helpful when you need a complete view. The jail roster shows current custody. OSCN shows filed cases. But CHIRP fills in gaps by showing arrests that may not have led to formal charges. The $15 fee covers one person's full Oklahoma history. Results are typically available within minutes of submitting the search.
VINE and DOC for Tulsa County
VINE at vinelink.com covers the David L. Moss facility. Register for free and choose an inmate to track. VINE alerts you when that person is released, transferred, or has a change in status. Given how large the Tulsa County jail is, VINE is an important tool for staying informed without having to check the roster every day.
The Oklahoma DOC offender lookup at okoffender.doc.ok.gov tracks Tulsa County inmates who are sentenced to state prison. After sentencing, the person leaves the county jail and enters DOC custody. The DOC website shows the current prison, sentence length, and earliest possible release date. For additional court record searches, ODCR at odcr.com gives you another free option alongside OSCN. Both pull from the same official data but sometimes one returns results more quickly than the other.
Note: The David L. Moss facility can hold over 2,700 inmates during peak times, making it the largest jail in Oklahoma.
