C.O.P. Oklahoma is a Citizen Oversight of Police community project. Our goal is to help bridge the gap of transparency currently clouding our state's judicial branch, specifically our police officers.

We hope that by implementing a citizen's review board, independent of ANY policing agency, that the public will be able to put a voice to their interactions with law enforcement and bring to light the injustices that our communities endure on a daily basis.

Oklahoma is made up of many rural communities that come with a unique set of challenges when it comes to speaking out against police misconduct. Many times, your only choice is to complain to the very person who has already violated your rights. This has made gathering accurate data difficult because many individuals are not willing or able to brave the consequences of going against the small town Sheriff or his Deputies. History has taught them it can be fatal.

Let this project be a voice for the unheard!

Oklahoma Open Records Act

Title 51 Oklahoma Statutes § 24A.1 et seq.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that public has access to all public records of governmental bodies. Section 24A.2 defines records as "all documents, including, but not limited to, any book, paper, photograph, microfilm, data files created by or used with computer software, computer tape, disk, and record, sound recording, film recording, video record or other material regardless of physical form or characteristic, created by, received by, under the authority of, or coming into the custody, control or possession of public officials, public bodies, or their representatives in connection with the transaction of public business, the expenditure of public funds or the administering of public property." This specifically includes all records of the transfer of public funds.

According to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, anyone may request public records and no statement of purpose is required. However, if the purpose is commercial, fees will be charged for document collection. There is no restriction on the use of records and the law does not specify a time limit for responses to requests.
