Norman, Oklahoma, in Cleveland County, has about 131,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Norman depends on where the incident happened.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Norman
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
Inside Norman that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Norman Police Department); outside it, the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the University of Oklahoma at Norman (campus police) and Noble Public Schools (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Oklahoma City Police Department is listed by the FBI across four counties including Cleveland County, so its arrests are not broken out for Cleveland County here.

What the Oklahoma Open Records Act Requires
Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act the agency must answer a request promptly; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge copying at no more than 25 cents a page. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at clevelandcountyok.com/397/Open-Records-Requests (page title: Open Records Requests | Cleveland County, OK).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (405) 321-8268, handles discovery for pending cases.
