The David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center was expanded and renovated, and now holds 2,020 beds. It books more than 42,000 people per year, which places it among the highest-volume jails in Oklahoma. The facility uses multi-level classification housing to separate inmates by security level. Programs at DLM include GED education, work opportunities within the facility, and life skills training focused on rehabilitation.

The mailing address for inmates uses the DLM number format: Inmate's Full Name and DLM Number, C/O David L. Moss, 300 N Denver Ave., Tulsa, OK 74103. Money deposits can be made through the GRG Kiosk in the jail lobby, online through Correct Solutions Group, by money order or cashier's check mailed to the facility, or by phone at 877-618-3516. No cash or personal checks are accepted by mail. The inmate's name and DLMCJC number must appear on the money order and a return address is required. Phone services inside DLM are handled by Correct Solutions Group.

Visitation at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center takes place on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Eligible visitors include parents, grandparents, spouses, siblings, a fiance, and children 16 and older who come with a legal guardian. Visitors must submit an application and provide identification before being approved. Video visitation is available through JailATM, which requires registration. Electronic messaging is also available through JailATM Digital Messaging, which lets approved contacts send texts from a registered cell phone and receive texts back from the inmate.

Tulsa County Inmate Search

The Tulsa County online inmate roster lets you search by name, booking number, or DLM number. Each record shows the inmate's full name, current charges, bond information, mugshot, and custody status. The roster is updated regularly. For real-time status or to confirm whether someone has been booked very recently, call the jail at 918-596-8900. With over 42,000 bookings per year, updates happen constantly throughout each day.

The site covers Tulsa County departments, court resources, and links relevant to inmate search and public records access.

VINE is available for Tulsa County at vinelink.com or by calling 877-654-8463. VINE sends free alerts to registered contacts whenever a Tulsa County inmate is released, transferred, escapes, or has a status change. This is particularly useful given the volume of movement at DLM, where inmates are constantly being booked, transferred, released, or moved to state facilities. Signing up with VINE removes the need to check the roster manually every day.

Because DLM handles bookings from all law enforcement agencies operating in Tulsa County, the jail roster reflects arrests made by the Tulsa Police Department, the Sheriff's Office itself, and other local agencies. All of those bookings flow through the same facility. The DLM number assigned at booking is the most reliable identifier to use when searching for a specific person.

Tulsa County Police Blotter Records Request

Oklahoma law under Title 51, Section 24A.5 gives the public the right to request police blotter and arrest records from the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office. The agency must respond within a reasonable time as required by Title 51, Section 24A.8. Booking records, jail rosters, and most incident reports qualify as public records in Oklahoma. Some records may be withheld if they relate to active investigations or contain protected personal information.

Submit requests in person at 300 North Denver Avenue in Tulsa or by mail to that address. Call 918-596-8900 to ask about the preferred format and any fees before sending a written request. For the fastest response, include the subject's full name, DLM number if you have it, date of birth, and approximate booking date. Simple requests for current inmate status are often handled quickly through the online roster, but certified copies or historical records may take longer to process.

Bond information for Tulsa County inmates is available by calling 918-596-8900. Inmates without a preset bond amount may require a bail hearing before bond is set. If a hearing is needed, the next available court date determines how quickly bond can be posted. Bond payment methods at DLM are standard for Tulsa County and include cash at the facility, money order, and bail bond agents.

Statewide Records Tools for Tulsa County

The OSBI CHIRP system gives statewide criminal history records for Oklahoma. CHIRP covers all 77 counties, including Tulsa. A name search costs $15 and shows arrest and case outcome history from across the state, not just what appears in the Tulsa County jail roster. CHIRP is run by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and is especially useful if you want to see a full criminal history rather than just current custody status.

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender search at okoffender.doc.ok.gov tracks people who have been sentenced to state prison. When a Tulsa County inmate receives a DOC sentence, they are transferred out of DLM and into the state system. The DOC search is the tool to use after that transfer. The two systems together, the county jail roster and the DOC lookup, cover the full custody path from first booking through completion of a state sentence.

Tulsa County court records are available through the Oklahoma State Courts Network at oscn.net. OSCN is free and covers district court cases for all 77 counties. Tulsa County generates a high volume of criminal filings, and OSCN is updated regularly with new case information. You can search by name or case number and see charges, court dates, attorney of record, and case outcomes. OSCN and the DLM jail roster together give the most complete public picture of any Tulsa County arrest and prosecution.
