Subject to the limitations and procedures provided, any county sheriff or deputy sheriff may purchase materials, supplies, or services necessary and directly related to travel out of the county or within the county under certain circumstances by using one or more credit cards issued to the county for use by the county sheriff’s department. The credit card may also be used to purchase fuel inside the county on weekends, nights, or holidays when fuel cannot be obtained from the vendor to whom a bid has been awarded.
19 O.S. § 1506(A)

For each credit card issued to the county by an issuer, the county shall encumber sufficient funds each month to pay for the estimated charges made with these cards. Nothing in the legislation authorizing travel purchases by credit cards shall be construed to exempt any county sheriff or deputy sheriff from following the purchasing procedures specified in the Oklahoma Statutes.

• 19 O.S. §§ 1501-1505
• 19 O.S. § 1506(G)

Note: The credit cards must be issued in the name of the county, not an individual’s name.
