Welcome To Osage County
Oklahoma’s Largest County
At the Osage County Sheriffโs Office, our mission is to provide a solid foundation on which the residents of Osage County can thrive. We are committed to building public trust and fostering safe, secure communities through professional, high-quality professional law enforcement.
Osage County holds a unique place in Oklahomaโs history and geography. As the stateโs largest county by area, it was established in 1907 when Oklahoma gained statehood. The countyโs name and heritage are deeply tied to the federally recognized Osage Nation, whose reservation boundaries are coextensive with the county itself. This land became the Osage Nation Reservation in the 19th century following the relocation of the Osage people from Kansas.
The county seat, Pawhuska, is one of the first three towns founded in the county and remains a hub of history and culture. As of the 2020 Census, Osage County had a population of 45,818 residents.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county spans an impressive 2,304 square miles (5,970 kmยฒ), with 2,246 square miles (5,820 kmยฒ) of land and 58 square miles (150 kmยฒ) of water, accounting for 2.5% of its total area. Much of the landscape is part of the Osage Plains, characterized by open prairie, while the eastern portion features the rolling Osage Hillsโan extension of Kansasโ Flint Hills. Nature enthusiasts can also explore the renowned Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, located just north of Pawhuska, where remnants of the once-vast tallgrass ecosystem are carefully preserved.

Shortly after midnight on Thursday, July 2, 2026, Osage County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a report of shots fired in the area of Valley Road, south of Rock School Road near Sand Springs, OK.
Deputies learned that a man had allegedly fired a handgun during a confrontation involving his former girlfriend and another individual as they were leaving a residence. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.
While investigating, deputies developed information that the suspect was walking along Rock School Road. Deputies quickly located the individual and safely took him into custody without incident.
During the arrest, deputies recovered a loaded Taurus G2C 9mm handgun from the suspect's person. A records check revealed the firearm had been reported stolen from Catoosa, Oklahoma.
Following his arrest, the suspect was interviewed by investigators regarding the incident. Based on the investigation, the suspect was booked into the Osage County Jail on allegations related to the shooting and possession of the stolen firearm. Additional charges may be considered as the investigation continues.
This incident serves as another reminder of how quickly domestic and relationship-related disputes can escalate into dangerous situations involving firearms. The rapid response of Osage County Sheriff's Deputies helped bring the situation to a safe conclusion without injury to the victims, deputies, or the public.
This is an arrest, not a conviction. … See MoreSee Less

This Independence Day, we have the privilege of celebrating a truly historic milestoneโthe 250th birthday of the United States of America.
For two and a half centuries, our nation has stood as a symbol of freedom, opportunity, and resilience. We honor the sacrifices of those who came before us and remain grateful for the men and women who continue to defend the liberties we enjoy today.
As families across Osage County gather to celebrate, we encourage everyone to enjoy the traditions that make the Fourth of July special time with family and friends, days on the lake, swimming, cookouts, fireworks, and community events.
While celebrating, please remember that safety is everyone's responsibility:

The Osage County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program in the schools served by our School Resource Officers beginning in the Fall of 2026.
As part of our commitment to youth education and community engagement, Deputy Derrin "Jorgy" Jorgensen recently attended the Oklahoma D.A.R.E. Conference held June 15โ17, 2026, at the Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, Oklahoma. The conference brought together law enforcement officers, educators, and D.A.R.E. professionals from across the state to share training, resources, and best practices for delivering this impactful program to students.
Deputy Jorgensen will lead the classroom curriculum and work directly with students throughout the school year, focusing on decision-making skills, peer pressure resistance, responsible choices, and building positive relationships between youth and law enforcement.
We are excited to bring D.A.R.E. back into our schools and look forward to investing in the future of Osage County's young people. Thank you to our school districts, community partners, and Deputy Jorgensen for helping make this program possible.

On the evening of June 21, 2026, an Osage County Sheriff's Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a red Jeep Cherokee near Tulsa in Osage County after observing the vehicle repeatedly fail to maintain its lane of travel.
During the stop, deputies learned the driver did not possess a valid driver's license and the vehicle was not insured. Deputies also discovered a five-year-old child was riding in the back seat without being properly restrained in a child safety seat and was not wearing a seatbelt.
While speaking with the driver, deputies observed an open container of alcohol inside the vehicle. The driver admitted consuming alcohol prior to driving and agreed to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.
Based on the totality of the investigation, deputies determined the driver was impaired. A preliminary breath test indicated a BAC of 0.17, more than twice the legal limit.
The driver, identified as Mikah Mattie Marie Washington, was arrested and booked into the Osage County Jail on the following allegations:
โช๏ธ Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
โช๏ธ Child Endangerment
โช๏ธ Failure to Properly Restrain a Child
โช๏ธ Driving Under Suspension
โช๏ธ Failure to Maintain Security Verification (Insurance)
โช๏ธ Failure to Maintain Lane
After being advised of Oklahoma's Implied Consent Law, the defendant initially agreed to submit to the state's chemical test but later refused testing at the testing facility.
Driving under the influence places everyone on our roadways at risk, especially innocent children who rely on adults to make responsible decisions. The Osage County Sheriff's Office remains committed to removing impaired drivers from our roads and protecting the safety of our communities.
This is an arrest not a conviction.
