Grant County Criminal History

Grant County criminal history records are managed by the court clerk and sheriff's office in Medford. This small county in north-central Oklahoma has a population just over 4,100, so the criminal case volume is lower than most. You can still search Grant County criminal cases for free through OSCN and ODCR. The court clerk holds files on all felony and misdemeanor cases heard in the district court. For a statewide criminal history check, the OSBI runs searches through their online CHIRP portal. This page covers where to look, what fees to plan for, and which tools cost nothing.

Grant County Court Clerk Records

The Grant County Court Clerk's office is at the Grant County Courthouse, 112 E. Guthrie Ste 102, Medford, OK 73759. The court clerk holds files on all criminal cases filed in the Grant County District Court. That includes felony cases, misdemeanor charges, and traffic violations. Grant County is part of Judicial District 4, the same district as Garfield, Blaine, Canadian, and Kingfisher counties. With a population of roughly 4,169, the case load here is light compared to larger counties. But every case still has to go through the clerk's office.

Copy fees are $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each page after. Certified copies cost extra. Under Title 28 O.S. Section 153, the court clerk must let you access public court records during business hours. If you need a certified copy of a conviction or a case disposition, ask at the window. The clerk cannot give legal advice or help fill out forms. Mail-in requests are accepted but may take a few extra days. Records that go back many years might be stored off-site, adding more time to the wait.

Search Grant County Criminal History Online

The Oklahoma State Courts Network gives you free access to Grant County criminal history court records. You can search by party name, case number, or date. OSCN is run by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Criminal cases use codes like CF for felony and CM for misdemeanor. Records typically go back to the early 1990s. Because Grant County is small, the search results tend to be more manageable than what you get in bigger counties.

The OSCN docket search shows Grant County court records filed in the district court system, including criminal cases and their current status.

Not all document images are available online. Older filings may require an in-person visit to the clerk in Medford.

On Demand Court Records also covers Grant County. ODCR updates close to real time. You search by court, party name, or case number. Basic results are free. ODCR is a private service, not a government site, but it pulls from the court system. Some cases appear on ODCR before they show on OSCN. If you need a full view of someone's Grant County criminal history, check both systems.

State Criminal History Search for Grant County

The OSBI CHIRP portal runs statewide criminal history searches that include Grant County arrests. A name-based search costs $15.00. You need the person's first name, last name, and date of birth.

In a county this small, the registry results are usually short, but it is still worth checking if you need a complete picture of criminal history in Grant County.

Expunging Grant County Criminal History

Oklahoma law allows certain criminal records to be sealed. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 18, a full expungement seals both court records and the OSBI arrest record.

Violent felony convictions cannot be expunged under Title 57 O.S. Section 571.
