This page explains how to request and search those records, including free online options available through the Oklahoma courts system.

Logan County Overview
Logan County Sheriff's Office
The Logan County Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency for unincorporated areas of Logan County. The office is based in Guthrie. The main phone number is (405) 282-4100. Logan County is part of Judicial District 9, which it shares with Payne County. Deputies patrol rural roads and communities across the county's approximately 743 square miles north of the Oklahoma City metro. The proximity to the metro means the county handles a range of cases tied to both rural and suburban activity, including traffic enforcement on the major corridors connecting Guthrie to Oklahoma City.
To request police records from the Logan County Sheriff's Office, contact the records division in person or by mail. For in-person visits, go during regular business hours and bring a valid photo ID. For mail requests, include the full name of the subject, the approximate date of the incident, and any report or case number you have. If you do not have a case number, describe the incident type, the general location, and the date range as precisely as possible. Specific requests are processed faster than vague ones.
Copy fees run between $0.25 and $1.00 per page. The exact rate depends on the type of document. Requests that require pulling older files or extended staff time may carry an additional labor charge. The office will notify you of any fees before releasing copies. You can narrow the scope of your request if the cost is higher than expected.
The Logan County Jail is in Guthrie. Call the main sheriff's number to check on someone in custody. Staff can confirm custody status by name. For people transferred to state facilities, use the Oklahoma Department of Corrections inmate locator, which covers all state prisons and community corrections placements across Oklahoma.
Logan County Court Clerk
The Logan County Court Clerk manages all district court filings for Logan County. The clerk's office is at the Logan County Courthouse in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Logan County is part of the Ninth Judicial District. Court records from 1994 onward are in OSCN. Older records require direct contact with the clerk's office, since those filings exist only as paper files in the courthouse. Given that Guthrie served as Oklahoma's first territorial capital, the courthouse holds historical records that go back to the late 1800s, well before statehood in 1907.
Oklahoma district courts use standard case codes across all counties. CF is felony criminal. CM is misdemeanor. TR covers traffic cases. FD is family court, which includes divorce and custody filings. PB is probate. SC is small claims. CJ is civil judgment. Knowing the right code before you contact the clerk helps narrow the search and reduces the time it takes staff to pull the right records.
To request copies by mail, write to the Logan County Court Clerk and include the case number if you have it. Without a case number, include a $5.00 search fee payable to the Logan County Court Clerk. Provide the name of the person involved and the approximate year or date range. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope. The clerk will mail back results and an invoice for applicable copy fees. Standard copy fees range from $0.25 to $1.00 per page. Certified copies carry an additional certification charge on top of the per-page cost.
Forms submitted to the Logan County Court Clerk must be completed in blue or black ink. The clerk will not process forms written in pencil. If you are unsure which form to use, call the office before mailing anything. A quick call can prevent delays caused by submitting the wrong form. Staff can direct you to the right paperwork for most common request types.
Marriage licenses in Logan County are issued by the court clerk. Divorce records are part of the FD case series filed in district court. Both types of records are accessible to the public. Some details within family court filings may be sealed by court order, but the basic case information is generally available.
Find Logan County Records Online
The Oklahoma State Courts Network (OSCN) gives free public access to Logan County court records from 1994 forward. Search by name, case number, or a combination of both. Results show the case type, all named parties, charges or claims filed, hearing dates, and current case status. Many documents are viewable directly in the browser. OSCN is the quickest way to check for recent criminal, civil, and traffic filings in Logan County without traveling to the Guthrie courthouse.
OSCN uses consistent case codes statewide. CF is felony. CM is misdemeanor. TR is traffic. FD is family. PB is probate. SC is small claims. CJ is civil judgment. When a name search returns several results, the case code in each entry tells you what type of case it is. Use those codes to narrow results quickly when a subject has multiple filings or when a name search produces too many matches.
The OSBI CHIRP portal shown below is the state's official tool for running criminal history checks that cover Logan County and all other Oklahoma counties.
Use CHIRP to request a name-based or fingerprint-based background check covering Logan County criminal history records.
When OSCN is temporarily unavailable or you want to run a search across multiple counties at once, try ODCR.com. ODCR indexes district court records from multiple Oklahoma counties and is free to use. No registration is needed for either tool.
Background Checks and Offender Records
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation runs the official state criminal history database. You can submit a request through the OSBI Criminal History Request Portal (CHIRP). A name-based search costs $15.00. A fingerprint-based search costs $19.00. OSBI is located at 6600 N Harvey Place, Oklahoma City, OK 73116. Phone: (405) 848-6724.

OSCN shows only cases filed in the selected county. OSBI pulls from a statewide database. If a person has criminal filings in counties beyond Logan, an OSCN search for Logan County alone will not capture them. OSBI gives the fuller picture when statewide history matters.

Logan County Records Under Oklahoma Law
Oklahoma's Open Records Act is codified at Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.1 through Section 24A.22. This law gives any person the right to inspect and copy records held by public agencies in Logan County. Arrest records, incident reports, booking data, and court filings all fall within that scope. Booking photographs are public records under Oklahoma law. Court documents become accessible once docketed, with limited statutory exceptions.
Some records are off limits. Juvenile records are sealed under Title 10A. Records connected to active investigations can be withheld while a case remains open. Victim information in sexual assault or domestic violence cases is protected from release. Expunged records are not available to the public. Medical and mental health information held by public agencies is also exempt from the act.
If a Logan County agency denies your request, they must provide a written explanation that cites the specific exemption they are relying on. You can challenge that denial by filing a complaint with the Oklahoma Attorney General's Public Access Counselor. The window to file is 30 days from the date of the denial. Keep a copy of your original request and any response the agency provides. A failure to respond at all within a reasonable time is also a potential violation you can report to the Public Access Counselor.
Always put records requests in writing. A written request creates a clear trail showing what you asked for and when. Keep the request specific. Name the record type, the person involved, and the date range. A clear, focused written request is easier for staff to process and creates the documentation you need if you have to escalate.
Logan County's population has grown in recent years as Guthrie draws people from the Oklahoma City area. The court clerk and sheriff's office handle an increasing volume of filings and requests. Response times can vary. If you have not received a reply within two weeks, a follow-up call that specifically mentions the Open Records Act is reasonable and usually effective.
