Introduction
Background
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) was developed by law enforcement as a tool for operational
and administrative purposes. Under the auspices of the International Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP), the UCR Program was developed in 1930. Prior to that date, no comprehensive system of data
collection on a national scale existed because criminal statutes varied among states in the use of terminology
to define criminal behavior. To overcome this problem, IACP developed standard definitions for crimes.
At that time, law enforcement began to collect crime data using standard definitions created by the UCR
Program. It was not until the 1960s that funds became available to develop state-level data collection
systems. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation assumed the statewide administration of the UCR
Program on September 1, 1973. This is the 44th annual report – it includes crime data collected in 2017.
Crime Factors
This report includes the most accurate and current crime data available for the State. Data provided in this
report are based on offenses known to law enforcement; however, victims do not always report crime to
law enforcement. For that reason, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation cautions using these data to
make direct comparisons among jurisdictions in the State. When comparing offense and arrest data, please
remember crimes relate to events while arrests relate to people. One crime may involve several offenses,
multiple offenders, and/or multiple victims. Other crime factors influence the accuracy of crime data across
jurisdictions, including:
VIII
Objectives
(1) Inform the Governor, Legislature, other governmental officials, and the public as to the nature,
magnitude, and trends of crime in Oklahoma.
(2) Provide law enforcement administrators with statistics for administrative and operational use.
(3) Provide offender demographics in order to find the proper focus for crime prevention and
enforcement.
(4) Provide data and statistics for research to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and performance
of criminal justice agencies.
(5) Provide the FBI with complete UCR data to be included in the national publication Crime in the
United States.
IX
Legislative Mandate
The Crime in Oklahoma report includes information provided by law enforcement agencies for known
offenses. The Oklahoma Legislature mandated the responsibility and authority for UCR data collection and
dissemination to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Guidelines established through Title 74 O.S.
§150.10 are as follows:
A. A uniform crime reporting system shall be established by the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation. The Director shall have the power and duty, when directed by the Commission, to
collect and gather such information from such state agencies as may be prescribed in Section 150.1
et seq. of this title.
B. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is hereby designated as the agency which shall collect,
gather, assemble, and collate such information as is prescribed by this section.
C. 1. All state, county, city, and town law enforcement agencies shall submit reports to the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Investigation on forms prescribed by the Bureau. The reports shall contain the
number and nature of offenses committed within their respective jurisdictions, the disposition
of such matters, and such other information as the Bureau may require, respecting information
relating to the cause and prevention of crime, recidivism, the rehabilitation of criminals, and
the proper administration of criminal justice.
2. Any information taken from such information, data, records or reports submitted to the uniform
crime reporting system and used to prepare the Uniform Crime Report shall be an open record
pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act. Requests for such information shall be submitted
to the Bureau.
3. Any request under the Oklahoma Open Records Act for any other information, data, records or
reports submitted to the uniform reporting system by the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation shall be directed to the Bureau pursuant to Section 24A.20 of Title 51 of the
Oklahoma Statutes. Such information, data, records or reports shall be considered investigative
records of the Bureau and shall be subject to discovery and disclosure only in compliance with
Section 150.5 of this title or other applicable statute.
4. Any request under the Oklahoma Open Records Act for any information, data, records or
reports submitted by a law enforcement agency other than the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation to the uniform crime reporting system shall be directed to the law enforcement
agency submitting the information, data, records or reports to the Bureau unit pursuant to
Section 24A.20 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Such information, data, records or reports
shall be considered law enforcement records and shall be subject to discovery and disclosure
only in compliance with Section 24A.8 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes or other applicable
statute.
D. Upon receipt of such information the Director shall have such data collated and formulated and
shall compile such statistics as the Director may deem necessary in order to present a proper
classification and analysis of the volume and nature of crime and the administration of criminal
justice within this state.
E. Refusal or persistent failure of any law enforcement agency to submit reports required by this
section may result in discontinued access to Bureau information and assistance.
X
Reporting and Collection Procedures
Under Title 74 O.S. §150.10, all state, county, city, and town law enforcement agencies are required to
submit crime data to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Law enforcement agencies report the
number of known offenses for the following categories: murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault,
burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Crime counts include “actual offenses known” without regard to
(1) whether anyone is arrested for the crime; (2) the stolen property is recovered; (3) the local prosecution
policy; and, (4) any other restrictive considerations. Law enforcement agencies also report the number of
crimes cleared, either by arrest or exceptional means (a crime solution or clearance recorded when some
element beyond law enforcement control precludes the placing of formal charges against the offender). Law
enforcement also provides information on stolen property, circumstances surrounding all homicides, and
circumstances surrounding officer assaults.
In addition, monthly reports for all persons arrested on all criminal offenses are collected. These reports
provide demographic information on each person arrested, with adult and juvenile arrests reported
separately. As required by Titles 74 O.S. §150.12B and 21 O.S. §850, UCR offenses reported are also
utilized to identify domestic abuse and hate/bias motivation crimes.
Verification
A primary consideration in the collection of criminal statistics in Oklahoma is the uniformity and accuracy
of crime data. While the Field Services Unit does provide training and technical assistance to local law
enforcement, the accuracy of crime data included in this report cannot be guaranteed. Incident reports
uploaded from external records management systems must meet the state's minimum requirements for
submission before being accepted into the state repository. Incident reports that are not validated or properly
corrected are not included in this report. Throughout the year, field service representatives work with
reporting agencies to correct reporting errors. Ongoing communication (phone and personal) with reporting
agencies is essential to ensure the accuracy and quality of reporting.

Arrest and Clearance Data
Summary Analysis
The Oklahoma Uniform Crime Reporting Program requests the monthly submission of data concerning
persons arrested in Oklahoma. Arrests are reported for both Parts I and II crimes. A person is counted on
the monthly arrest report each time he/she is arrested, and the same person may be arrested several times
during the reporting period. If a person is arrested for multiple crimes, only the most serious crime will be
reported on the arrest report. Oklahoma law enforcement reported 114,135 arrests in 2017, representing a
4.2% decrease compared to 2016.
Clearance Rate
For crime reporting purposes, an index crime is considered cleared when: (1) a law enforcement agency
has identified the offender; (2) there is enough evidence to charge the offender; and (3) the offender is
actually taken into custody. The arrest of one person may clear several crimes or the arrest of several persons
may clear only one crime. An arrest may also be reported as cleared if some element beyond the control of
law enforcement is present (e.g., death of offender).

Overview of Juvenile Arrests
Summary Analysis
Juveniles accounted for 9.8% of all arrests, and 13.2% of all arrests for index crimes. Drug related arrests
accounted for 11.5% of juvenile arrests, while 4.0% of juvenile arrests were related to alcohol.
For purposes of this data collection, “arrest” refers to the police handling of juveniles who have committed
a crime and are taken into custody when, under the same circumstances, the crime would warrant the arrest
of an adult. Police contacts are not counted as arrests if no crime has been committed.

Law Enforcement Employee Data
Definition: Persons employed as full-time sworn officers and full-time civilian employees.
The figures below represent a compilation of forms sent to all reporting law enforcement agencies
throughout the state on an annual basis. With the exception of persons who perform guard or protection
duties and who are not paid from police funds (i.e., school crossing guards, special officers, and merchant
police), these figures reflect the number of full-time sworn personnel with full arrest power, including the
chief, sheriff, commissioner, and superintendent. The figures do not include employees of the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Investigation, or those law enforcement agencies which do not contribute to the Uniform
Crime Reporting Program.
Civilians include clerks, radio dispatchers, meter maids, stenographers, mechanics, etc., provided these
persons are full-time employees of the agency. Neither employees who are compensated from a source
other than police funds, nor those receiving salaries from federal grants are included. In 2016, Oklahoma’s
law enforcement rate was 3.2 employees per 1,000 residents.

Index Crime Offenses by

Contributors
The following section includes a specific breakdown of index crime offenses by each contributing law
enforcement agency for the years 2015, 2016, and 2017. It must be remembered that the total index crime
offenses reported are shown here, and the statistics include each month an agency reported.
As is apparent, the delinquency of reports greatly hampers the Oklahoma Uniform Crime Reporting
Program. In some states, crime trend data is only computed for those agencies that have a complete
reporting record for the year or years. Others use estimated data for those agencies that did not submit
reports for each month. The Oklahoma Uniform Crime Reporting Program uses the total number of offenses
reported in its analysis as part of a continuing endeavor to provide complete crime statistics for the State of
Oklahoma.
The section is listed in alphabetical order by county, and then in numerical order by the Originating Agency
Identifier (ORI) assigned to reporting agencies within each county by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
An alphabetical listing of all reporting agencies has been included in this publication; these agencies also
have been cross-referenced to their respective counties.

History of Program Participation
There are approximately 450 sheriffs’ offices and police departments in Oklahoma. During 1973, an
average of 65 law enforcement agencies contributed monthly reports directly to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation assumed the statewide administration of the Uniform Crime
Reporting Program on September 1, 1973. Since that time, an astounding increase in the number of agencies
who report directly to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has occurred. The table below sets forth
the number of law enforcement agencies, by type, that have participated in the Oklahoma Uniform Crime
Reporting Program for the years 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Contributor History
There were 402 direct reporting law enforcement agencies in 2017 that provided UCR data directly to the
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation’s UCR state repository.
The following is a list of agencies that reported partial data or failed to report data during calendar year
2017. Statistics in this publication are reported as they are received from an agency during the calendar year
and data received is not calculated or averaged to compensate for partial or missing data. For this reason,
there may be discrepancies when comparing data in this publication with data in Crime in the United States.
