The Oklahoma Criminal History and Your Own Copy
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. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation site.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Canadian County
The Canadian County Sheriff's Office and the agencies that report for Yukon, Mustang, El Reno, Piedmont, Union City and Calumet keep the arrest records in Canadian County: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The Geary Police Department, the Okarche Police Department and the Oklahoma City Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Canadian County, so their arrests are not broken out for Canadian County here.
Together, the seven agencies in Canadian County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,943 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Canadian County arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Canadian County in 2025
