Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, has about 43,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Pittsburg County depends on where the incident happened: the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Oklahoma Open Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Pittsburg County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Pittsburg County that is the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries McAlester Public Schools (other agency) and Kiamichi Technology Center (campus police), each with a records office of its own.

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.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
