Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, has about 11,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Okfuskee County Sheriff's Office and three city agencies. An arrest 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 Okfuskee County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Okfuskee County
The Okfuskee County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Okfuskee County. It reported 14 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside three of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Okemah, 3,066 residents: 106 arrests reported for 2025.
- Boley, 1,085 residents: 0 arrests reported for 2025.
- Weleetka, 806 residents: 1 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The Okmulgee Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Okfuskee County, so its arrests are not broken out for Okfuskee County here.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Okfuskee County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Okfuskee County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2024 the jail held about 60 people, up from about 44 in 2019. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at okoffender.doc.ok.gov.
