View Tulsa Mugshots, Jail Bookings & Charges
For a current Tulsa County jail booking, start with the Tulsa County Inmate Information Center. The official county system can be used to search jail records by name or review the Booking ID list, while the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office explains that people arrested on misdemeanor or felony charges in the county are processed through the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center.
Booking records can help you identify a person, booking date, DLM number, custody information, listed charges and other jail-related details. For the actual criminal case, hearings or final disposition, continue to the Oklahoma State Courts Network rather than treating a booking page as the final court record.
Start with the Tulsa County inmate search
Search the county system first. If you find a likely match, note the exact name, booking ID or DLM number before checking charges, bond information or court records.
Jail booking → identity check → court record → current custody or release verification
How to Search Tulsa Mugshots and Jail Bookings
The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office links directly to the county Inmate Information Center for jail searches. The same official jail-information page provides both a name-search route and a Booking ID list.
What a Tulsa Jail Booking Record Can Show
A Tulsa County booking is created during the intake process at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center. The Sheriff’s Office states that intake personnel review the arrest report, enter information into the jail computer system, record the person’s picture and fingerprints, and create an identification card.
| Record field | What it means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Name associated with the jail booking. | Compare spelling and other available identifiers before assuming a match. |
| Booking ID | Identifier associated with a particular booking entry. | Use it when distinguishing multiple bookings or similar names. |
| DLM number | David L. Moss identification number used in the jail system. | Keep the number for mail, account or jail-related inquiries when applicable. |
| Booking date | Date associated with the jail admission record. | Do not confuse a past booking date with present custody. |
| Charge information | Charges recorded in connection with the booking. | Check the court docket for later amendments, dismissal or disposition. |
| Booking photograph | Image recorded as part of the booking process when available. | A photograph confirms neither guilt nor the final outcome of a case. |
Tulsa Arrest Charges: Read Them as Allegations, Not Outcomes
A listed jail charge describes why a person was booked or what allegation was entered in the jail system. It should not be presented as proof that the person committed the offense.
Booking charge
This is associated with jail intake. It helps explain the detention but may not reflect the charge that is ultimately filed or prosecuted.
Court filing
The Tulsa County court docket is the better route for following a filed criminal case, hearing history and recorded disposition.
Dismissed or amended case
Charges can change after arrest. An older jail page may continue to describe the initial booking even when later court activity is different.
Conviction
A conviction requires a court outcome. A booking photograph, arrest entry or criminal charge by itself is not a conviction.
How to Check Bond Information After a Tulsa Booking
The Sheriff’s Office explains that, after processing, inmates may make phone calls to arrange bond payment or notify family and friends. If the person cannot post bond, they may remain housed at the jail while the case proceeds.
Locate the correct inmate record and record the exact identifiers and listed charge information.
Search OSCN for the corresponding Tulsa County case when a case number or matching defendant information is available.
Call David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center general information at 918-596-8900 rather than guessing from an older third-party page.
Bond conditions and court orders can change. A figure displayed on an old booking page should not be treated as a permanent or guaranteed release amount.
Use OSCN to Follow the Tulsa County Criminal Case
The Oklahoma State Courts Network provides a court-record search with county, case-number and other search routes. For a Tulsa booking, court records are useful for checking whether a criminal case was filed and for following subsequent docket events.
- Choose Tulsa County when the search form requires a county.
- Use the exact defendant name from the verified booking when searching by party.
- Use the case number when one is known; it is usually more precise than a name-only search.
- Read the docket chronologically to distinguish filing, hearings and disposition.
- Follow OSCN’s own notice and verify critical information with the official record keeper when necessary.
David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center
The David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center is the Tulsa County jail facility identified by the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office says misdemeanor and felony arrestees from law-enforcement agencies within Tulsa County are booked there.
Tulsa County Jail Visitation
The Sheriff’s Office currently describes both video visitation and on-site non-contact visitation at David L. Moss. On-site eligibility is more restrictive than simply knowing an inmate, so review the current jail instructions before making a trip.
On-site visits
The current Sheriff’s Office jail-information page states that on-site visits are for documented immediate relatives and lists Friday and Saturday visitation windows from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Approval first
Visitors must use the applicable visitor-request process and should not assume they can arrive without prior approval or scheduling.
Video visitation
The jail also points families to a third-party video-visitation system. Check the Sheriff’s Office jail page before paying or scheduling because vendor procedures can change.
Questions
For current jail visitation information, the Sheriff’s Office lists 918-596-8900 for general information.
Inmate Money, Mail and Property
Once you have confirmed the correct person and DLM number, the jail provides separate procedures for inmate trust accounts, mail and property pickup.
Trust account
The Sheriff’s Office says deposits may be available through lobby kiosks and approved online payment services. Mailed funds must follow the facility’s current instructions.
The jail instructs senders to include the inmate’s full name and DLM number. It publishes detailed restrictions on photographs, packages and other items.
Property pickup
Property pickups are scheduled with the property clerk. The current jail page lists the property room as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., excluding observed holidays, with phone 918-596-8872.
If You Are Looking for a Tulsa County Warrant
A jail booking search is not the same as a warrant search. Someone may have a court matter or warrant without appearing as a current inmate, and a person who was previously booked may no longer be in custody.
The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office contact page lists the warrants line as 918-596-8984. For a court case, OSCN can also help identify docket activity, but do not treat an online search as legal advice or as a substitute for confirmation from the responsible authority.
Get Oklahoma Custody-Status Notifications Through OK VINE
OK VINE is Oklahoma’s victim information and notification service. The Oklahoma Attorney General describes it as a confidential, 24-hour service for checking offender custody information and registering for automated custody-status notifications.
VINE can be useful when release or transfer information matters to your safety planning, but state guidance recommends not relying on a single notification source for every situation.
When You Cannot Find the Tulsa Booking You Expected
Try the complete legal name and check spelling. A person may also be held by another jurisdiction or may not yet appear in the online county system.
An image on another website may refer to a past arrest. Search the current county inmate system before describing the person as currently jailed.
Compare the original jail entry with the Tulsa County court docket. Later filings can use different wording or reflect amended or dismissed allegations.
A past booking can remain part of the public record even after release. Current custody and historical arrest records should be described separately.
Do not rely on the name alone. Use booking identifiers and court case information before connecting a record to a specific person.
If the official inmate portal is unavailable or unclear, use the Sheriff’s Office jail-information page or call David L. Moss at 918-596-8900.
A Safer Tulsa Arrest-Record Verification Checklist
- Start with the official Tulsa County inmate search.

- Search OSCN for the corresponding Tulsa County court case.
- Look for later amendments, dismissal or disposition information.
- Call the jail when a current custody or release question remains unclear.
