Tulsa Sex Offender Registry
Tulsa sex offender records are available through multiple search tools, and the Tulsa Police Department recommends using all of them. Because Tulsa sits within both Cherokee Nation and Muscogee Creek Nation jurisdictional areas, some offenders appear only on tribal registries. The Tulsa Police Department provides direct links to four separate search portals so you can get the most complete results. Searching the Tulsa sex offender registry is free and open to the public, whether you use the state database, TPD search, or tribal systems. All data is current and updated as offenders register or move.

Tribal Registries Covering Tulsa

The Cherokee Nation Sex Offender Registry covers offenders convicted under Cherokee tribal law or living within Cherokee Nation territory.

Both tribal registries feed into the National Sex Offender Public Website, so searching NSOPW is the fastest way to pull from all systems at once.
Approximately 92% of Tulsa is off-limits for sex offender housing due to the 2,000-foot residency restriction around schools, parks, and daycares under 57 O.S. 590. That figure is among the highest in the state. Finding compliant housing in Tulsa is very difficult for registered offenders.
