Moore Police Department Records

Requests are processed under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, Title 51 O.S. sections 24A.1 through 24A.33. You do not have to give a reason when you request public records. The Act gives you the right to access most incident reports and non-exempt government documents.

If the department denies your request, they must tell you which specific exemption applies. Standard copy fees under the Open Records Act are capped at $0.25 per page.
