This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.

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 2023 the jail held about 17 people, up from about 16 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 11 beds, and it ran at 145 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 Harmon County

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.
