Enid Police Blotter Records

The Enid Police Department maintains police blotter records, incident reports, body camera footage, and arrest logs for the city of Enid, Oklahoma. This page explains how to request those records, what contacts to use depending on the type of record, and which state tools cover Enid arrests and court cases. Enid is the county seat of Garfield County, so jail bookings and district court cases go through county systems.

Enid Police Department

The Enid Police Department is led by Chief Bryan Skaggs. The main station is at 301 W. Owen K. Garriott Road. The Records Division handles police reports, body camera recordings, photographs, and digital media. The department has two separate contacts for records depending on what type you need: one for body camera and video, and a different one for all other police records.

How to Get Enid Police Blotter and Incident Reports

The Enid Police Department has a clear process for public records requests. The key is knowing which contact to use. For body camera footage, photos, and video, reach out to Cass Rains (Public Relations Coordinator) at 580-616-7049 or crains@enid.org. For all other police records including incident reports, arrest logs, and offense reports, contact Sara Webb at 580-616-7044 or swebb@enid.org.

In person, visit 301 W. Owen K. Garriott Road during regular business hours. Fill out the Enid Police Department's Open Records Request form, which is available as a PDF on the city website. Bring photo ID and include as much detail as possible: the incident date, case number if you have it, names involved, and type of records requested.

By mail, download the open records request form from the Enid website, complete it, and mail it to the department at 301 W. Owen K. Garriott Road or P.O. Box 1768, Enid, OK 73702. For video or body camera records, address the envelope to the attention of the Public Relations Coordinator. For all other records, address it to the Records Division.

Email is an option for all record types. Send your request to the correct email based on what you need. The department will respond with instructions on fees and how to proceed. Processing time depends on the complexity of the request and whether any review for exemptions is needed.

Fees follow Oklahoma state standards. Physical copies are charged per page at standard rates. The department may waive fees in some cases, particularly for victims. Ask about waivers when you submit your request.

What Enid Police Blotter Records Cover

Police blotter records from the Enid Police Department include incident dates and times, locations, types of calls, names of people arrested, and charges. These are public under the Oklahoma Open Records Act unless a specific exemption applies. Active investigation details, juvenile records, and certain victim information may be redacted.

Body camera and video records are subject to the same open records rules but require a separate request through the Public Relations Coordinator. These records may take longer to process because the footage must be reviewed for redactions before release. Photographs follow the same process as video.

The department also accepts online crime tips. Text "Enid" and your tip to 274637, or submit online through the department's website. Crime tip records are generally not public records, but incidents they generate may produce police reports that are.

Crime mapping tools are available through the department's website. These show general incident data by area and type. The department submits monthly crime statistics to the OSBI as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting program.
