The David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center serves as the sole booking facility for Tulsa County. When law enforcement officers make an arrest on misdemeanor or felony charges anywhere in the county, the individual is transported to this facility for processing. The intake process is thorough and structured: officers present the arrest report to intake staff, who verify all information before entering it into the computer system. The arrestee is then brought into a sally port reception area for a full search, during which staff check for weapons, contraband, and assess the individual's physical condition. Those with injuries are screened by a booking nurse on site.

Tulsa County provides one of the most accessible online inmate information systems in Oklahoma. The Inmate Information Center at iic.tulsacounty.org allows public searches of current and recent bookings, including booking photographs, charges, bond amounts, and arrest dates. The system updates frequently as new bookings are processed.
