The Offender Registration Unit is part of the Investigations Bureau. The unit has two primary areas of responsibility. The first function is to conduct and maintain registrations of offenders as required by state and federal laws. The second function is to investigate registration violations of state and/or federal laws and present charges to prosecuting authorities when appropriate. This is done in order to enforce compliance of those offenders required to register who reside within the corporate limits of the City of Oklahoma City.

Laws Addressing Offenders Required To Register
Title 57 of Oklahoma State Statute,  Chapter 8B (Sex Offenders Registration Act) and Chapter 8C (Mary Rippy Violent Crime Offenders Registration Act)

Title 21 on the Zone of Safety Around Schools, Child Care Facilities, Playgrounds, and Parks

Information for Offenders

If you are an offender residing or wanting to reside in Oklahoma City limits and you are required by law to register with local law enforcement, you must come to the Offender Registration Unit at the Oklahoma City Police Department, located at 701 W Main St. in Oklahoma City.  

Office hours for registrations are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 
Offenders should not call or e-mail the office – all registration transactions including address checks must be done in person. Personnel at the Offender Registration Unit will assist offenders (in person at the office) in checking addresses to find a location to reside that is not in a prohibited area. Registration violations are taken seriously and will be investigated and presented for prosecution when appropriate.

How to Report Possible Registration Violations
If citizens have any immediate safety concerns involving a registered offender, they should call 911 and have an Oklahoma City Police Officer respond to the scene. If a citizen has information about an offender in Oklahoma City limits required to register who is not actually staying at their listed registered address, that information can be reported to the Offender Registration Unit by e-mail by clicking here, phone, or through the Community Notification System of the Offender Watch Program (see link below). Please include as much specific information as possible. You can remain anonymous or include your contact information if you would like. Possible registration violations will be investigated and presented for prosecution when appropriate.
