Find Rogers County Police Records
Rogers County police records are maintained by the Rogers County Sheriff's Office, local police departments, and the Rogers County Court Clerk in Claremore. This page covers how to request those records in person, by mail, or online through state systems. Rogers County is in northeast Oklahoma and borders Tulsa County to the west. It has grown rapidly as a suburban extension of the Tulsa metro area, which means a higher volume of court filings and a broader range of local law enforcement activity than many similarly sized Oklahoma counties.
Rogers County Overview
Rogers County Sheriff's Office
The Rogers County Sheriff's Office is at 114 S. Missouri Avenue, Claremore, OK 74017. The main phone number is (918) 341-3535. The office serves unincorporated areas of Rogers County and handles road patrol, criminal investigations, civil process service, and jail operations. Rogers County covers a mix of rural land, small towns, and fast-growing residential areas near the Tulsa metro border.
To request an incident report or police record from the Rogers County Sheriff's Office, contact the records division at the main number above. You can visit in person during business hours or submit a written request by mail. Include the full name of the subject, the date of the incident, and any case or report number you have. If you only know the approximate date and the name of the person involved, that is usually enough to start a search.
Reports involving active investigations may be withheld or partially redacted until the case closes. Victim information in domestic violence cases is protected and will not be released. Booking photographs from the Rogers County Jail are generally public record under Oklahoma law. Call ahead if you want to confirm what documentation you need before making a trip to the office.
Copy fees at the sheriff's office run between $0.25 and $1.00 per page depending on the type of document. Certified copies carry an additional fee. The office can let you know the exact cost when you contact them with a specific request.
Rogers County has a number of incorporated cities and towns, each with its own police department. Claremore, Catoosa, Inola, Verdigris, and Chelsea all have local agencies. Records of incidents handled by those departments are held by the respective city police, not the county sheriff. If you need records from a city agency, contact that department directly.
To check on a person held at the Rogers County Jail, call the sheriff's office. For release and transfer notifications, use VINE, which sends alerts by phone, text, or email at no cost.
Rogers County Court Clerk
The Rogers County Court Clerk is Cathi Edwards. The office is at 200 S. Lynn Riggs Blvd, Claremore, OK 74017. The clerk maintains all court records for District 12, including felony and misdemeanor criminal cases, civil filings, family court records, divorce decrees, traffic cases, probate filings, and small claims. Records held by the court clerk go back to the early 1900s. Cases from 1994 forward are searchable online through OSCN.
Case records follow the standard Oklahoma case code system. CF is felony criminal. CM is misdemeanor. TR is traffic. FD is family court, which includes divorce. PB is probate. SC is small claims. CJ is civil judgment. If you know which type of case you need, the prefix narrows your search quickly, especially when looking up a common name.
To request a copy by mail, write to the Rogers County Court Clerk at the address above. Include the case number if you have it. If you do not have a case number, include a $5.00 search fee payable to the Rogers County Court Clerk, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. The clerk will bill you for copy fees separately. Standard rates run $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each additional page. Certified copies are higher. Call the office to confirm current fees before sending payment.
In-person visits are handled during regular courthouse hours. Bring as much identifying information as you can. For older records that predate OSCN, you will need to make a direct request to the clerk. Staff can tell you what records exist for a given period and how to access them.
Rogers County sees a high volume of filings compared to many rural Oklahoma counties, partly because of population growth near the Tulsa metro area. During busy periods the clerk's office may take a few extra days to respond to mail requests. Calling ahead to confirm receipt can prevent delays.
Find Rogers County Records Online
The Oklahoma State Courts Network (OSCN) gives free public access to Rogers County court records from 1994 forward. Search by name, case number, or a combination. Results include all named parties, the charges or claims filed, all court dates and outcomes, and the current status of the case. Many documents in the record can be opened and read directly in OSCN without contacting the clerk.
OSCN uses the standard Oklahoma case code system across all counties. CF is felony. CM is misdemeanor. TR is traffic. FD is family court. PB is probate. SC is small claims. CJ is civil judgment. When a name search returns several results, the case code is usually the quickest way to sort through them and find the right file.
The OSCN portal for Rogers County covers all criminal, civil, and family cases filed in District 12 since 1994. You can see the full case history from initial filing through disposition and any later proceedings. No registration or fee is needed to search OSCN.
The OSBI CHIRP portal shown below is the state's official tool for running criminal history checks covering Rogers County and all other Oklahoma counties.
CHIRP returns criminal history results from across the state, including any Rogers County arrests, charges, and dispositions on file with OSBI.
A backup option is ODCR.com, which indexes Oklahoma district court filings from multiple counties. ODCR is useful when OSCN is down or when you want to run a name search across several counties at once. Both tools are free.
Background Checks and Offender Records
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation runs the state's official criminal history database. The OSBI Criminal History Request Portal (CHIRP) lets you submit requests online. A name-based search costs $15.00. A fingerprint-based search costs $19.00. OSBI is at 6600 N Harvey Place, Oklahoma City, OK 73116. Phone: (405) 848-6724.

Several Native American tribes have jurisdiction in parts of northeast Oklahoma, including areas of Rogers County. Cherokee Nation, Creek Nation, and other tribal governments operate their own law enforcement agencies in certain areas. Arrests made by tribal police may not appear in the standard state systems the same way county arrests do. If you need records of tribal law enforcement contacts in Rogers County, reach out to the relevant tribal authority directly.
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registry is free and searchable by name, zip code, or map view. You can set up notifications for registered offenders in a specific area. The registry is updated regularly and is open to the public.

Rogers County Records Under Oklahoma Law
Oklahoma's Open Records Act is at Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.1 through Section 24A.22. Any person can request to inspect or copy records held by Rogers County public agencies. That covers arrest records, incident reports, booking data, and court filings. Booking photographs are public records. Court filings become accessible once docketed, with limited exceptions.
Exempt records include juvenile files sealed under Title 10A, records tied to active investigations, victim information in sexual assault and domestic violence cases, expunged records, and medical or mental health records held by government agencies. An agency cannot simply refuse a request without telling you why.
If a Rogers County agency denies your request, they must provide a written explanation citing the specific exemption they are relying on. You can challenge that denial. The Oklahoma Attorney General's Public Access Counselor handles complaints. File within 30 days of a denial. Keep copies of your original request and any written response you receive.
Written requests are better than verbal ones for this reason: they create a paper trail. If you need to escalate or file a complaint, the written record shows exactly what you asked for and when. Keep the request short and specific. Name the record type, the subject, and the approximate date of the event.
Rogers County agencies are required to respond without unreasonable delay. A failure to respond at all can itself be a violation of the Open Records Act. If you have not heard back within a reasonable time, follow up in writing and note the original submission date.
