Oklahoma

Oklahoma's 77 sheriffs are elected county officers. No Oklahoma statute creates county-level civilian oversight. The Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority (a public trust that governed jail operations from 2019) included civilian trustees but kept the sheriff on its board; after 60+ detainee deaths and falling compliance scores, the trust was dissolved in March 2026. Tulsa County, site of the Eric Harris shooting (2015), has no civilian sheriff oversight body.
