City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, OK Public Records

• How do I obtain a copy of a police report?
  You can either request the police report from the department that created the information or checked the case file to see if the charges were filed in a criminal court of jurisdiction. In some instances where the police department may not provide the police report, the case file from the court can be easier to look into.
• Where can I obtain a copy of a 2006 or 2007 police report of an accident that led to a death?
  I would call the records office and ask them to check if it is available. You then have to go in person and pay for the report.
• Where can I find marriage records and divorce records from the 1940s?
  A record this far back in history is usually archived and would be most likely not found by the county clerk. There may be fees associated with obtaining detailed information about ancestry. However, some services offer small bits of information, such as the complete date and name of the other party in the divorce. This is to verify that you are requesting the correct person's record before placing the order. You get the verification free and then most likely pay for the rest of the information. Another approach would be the local periodicals of that time. These are held at the library local to the area. Many of the services from the library are outlined online without having to visit their physical location.
• Where can I find how many arrests for non-violent crimes were made in 2012?
  The Oklahoma City Police Department offers detailed crime statistics through its website under crime information. These incidents were reported to the police; there may or may not have been arrests or convictions. There's also a jail blotter on the same site of people booked into the Oklahoma County Jail. To look into 2012, enter the link next to 'weekly Crime Stats by neighborhood.'
• Where can I find what the laws are regarding background checks?
  When conducting a background check or a search for a history of criminal convictions, the service, especially from the state, will tend to stay within the law. You can see the law here Oklahoma Statutes Citationized. You can request a search from the Oklahoma state bureau of investigation. This online service provides a name or fingerprint search. A search based on the subject's name is not as accurate as a fingerprint search since names are not unique to each individual; you can narrow and identify the person you are looking up with additional information such as the DOB, middle name, and other criteria the database can use.
