Bixby, Oklahoma, in Tulsa County, has about 32,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Tulsa County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Bixby
The FBI lists Bixby with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Bixby Police Department. It reported 293 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 1,178 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Tulsa County: Tulsa Community College and the University of Oklahoma at Tulsa (campus police); Jenks Public Schools, Tulsa County Court Services and Tulsa International Airport (other).
How Many Arrests Bixby Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Bixby: 293 for 2025, 273 for 2024, 193 for 2023, 209 for 2022, 306 for 2021 and 217 for 2020.
Bixby's 293 arrests in 2025 were up 7.3 percent from 273 in 2024.
Through March 2026, Bixby reported 58 arrests, against 52 in the same months of 2025.
Across Tulsa County, the ten agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 19,329 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Bixby Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Bixby is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2024 the jail held about 4 people, down from about 1,440 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 2,014 beds, and it ran at 65 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Bixby
Whether someone was arrested in Bixby, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Tulsa County District Court, kept by the Court Clerk, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at www2.tulsacounty.org/districtattorney/about, phone 918-596-4805).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at courtclerk.tulsacounty.org (page title: Don Newberry, Tulsa County Court Clerk), phone 918-596-5420, belongs to a lower court, not to the Tulsa County District Court.

Oklahoma is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can order a name-based criminal history search online, for $15 a search, through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Bixby
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act the agency must answer promptly; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge copying at no more than 25 cents a page.
