Broken Arrow Jail Mugshots

Broken Arrow jail mugshots are created at one of the few municipal jails still operating in Oklahoma. The Broken Arrow Police Department runs its own jail at 2302 South 1st Place with a 32-bed capacity. Most Oklahoma cities do not have their own jails, but Broken Arrow holds arrestees for up to 90 hours before transferring them to the Tulsa County system. Booking photos are taken at intake and become public records under Oklahoma law. If you need to search for Broken Arrow arrest records or mugshots, there are both local and county-level resources to check.

Broken Arrow Municipal Jail

The Broken Arrow jail is at 2302 South 1st Place. It has 32 beds total. Twenty-five are for male inmates and nine are for female inmates. The facility is operated by G4S Secure Solutions with STC certified officers staffing the building. Bonding is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If you need to bond someone out of the Broken Arrow jail, you can go there at any time.

The 90-hour hold limit is the key thing to understand. Broken Arrow can only keep someone for about three and a half days. After that, the person transfers to the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center in Tulsa County. That means if you are looking for jail mugshots from a Broken Arrow arrest and it has been more than a few days, the records will likely be in the Tulsa County system instead of the city's. For shorter holds, the Broken Arrow facility handles everything locally.

You can reach the Broken Arrow jail by calling (918) 451-8352. For general police department matters, call (918) 259-8400 or email pdinfo@brokenarrowok.gov. The fax number is (918) 451-0979.

How to Find Broken Arrow Jail Mugshots

For inmates currently at the Broken Arrow municipal jail, contact the facility directly at (918) 451-8352. Staff can tell you if someone is in custody and provide booking information. For inmates who have transferred to Tulsa County, use the Tulsa County Inmate Information Center online. That system lets you search by name or booking ID and shows mugshots, charges, and booking dates.

The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office maintains the inmate database for the David L. Moss facility. The desk blotter report updates daily and lists recent bookings. Since most Broken Arrow inmates end up there after the 90-hour window, this is often the best place to search for booking photos. You do not need to pay or register to use the Tulsa County search tool.

Below is the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office site, which houses the inmate search used for Broken Arrow transfers.

Broken Arrow inmates held beyond 90 hours transfer to this Tulsa County facility where their mugshots and records are maintained.

Broken Arrow Arrest Records and Open Records

Under Title 51 Section 24A.8, jail mugshots and booking records are public in Oklahoma. The law requires release of arrestee descriptions including physical descriptions. Mugshots qualify as physical descriptions. The 2012 Attorney General Opinion confirmed that booking photos must be released to anyone who requests them. Both the Broken Arrow municipal jail and the Tulsa County detention center are subject to these rules.

Jail registers are also covered. The law requires release of booking data that includes each prisoner's name, commitment date, the committing authority, and a description. If you submit a written open records request to the Broken Arrow Police Department, they must respond within a reasonable time. Standard copy fees apply. You can send your request to the PD at 1101 N 6th St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012.

Note: Broken Arrow is one of the few Oklahoma cities with its own municipal jail, but inmates are transferred to Tulsa County after a maximum 90-hour hold.
