Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation

What Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation does

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) is a state law enforcement agency founded in 1925 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, employing 5,001–10,000 personnel. It operates under the authority of the State of Oklahoma to deliver investigative, forensic, and criminal intelligence services across the state, supporting local, county, and federal partners. The agency is structurally embedded in the State of Oklahoma's shared IT and administrative infrastructure managed by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES).

OSBI's technology footprint is provided through the state's OMES Information Services platform rather than being built independently. Core technology products include the OK.gov portal as the unified public gateway, the OMES Service Desk (with ServiceNow-based ticketing and 24/7 live chat), the IT Operations Command Center (ITOCC) monitoring approximately 3,000 devices and 500 locations, the Oklahoma Information Sharing and Analysis Center (OK-ISAC) for cyber threat intelligence sharing, and an Innovation Lab for rapid prototyping of hardware and software. Underlying systems include PeopleSoft for enterprise applications, the CitizenData analytics platform, and an internally launched CRM tool. Accessibility is enforced through WCAG 2.0 AA, Section 508, EITA, and ADA compliance. The statewide Information Services FY23 budget was $181M, allocated across Customer Success ($37.92M), Application Maintenance ($35.67M), Network & Server Operations ($23.83M), Cyber Command ($16.93M), and other divisions, though this funds shared services across many agencies rather than OSBI alone.

As a state government entity, OSBI does not operate a commercial revenue model; it is funded through state appropriations, and pricing for any fee-based services (e.g., criminal history checks) is not publicly disclosed in the source data. The agency's customer base is effectively twofold: the State of Oklahoma as principal funder, and Oklahoma's citizens, law enforcement partners, and other agencies as end-users of investigative and forensic outputs. No parent company, subsidiary structure, M&A activity, or funding rounds are disclosed for OSBI.
