About this plate
OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. Included because it completes the set of three statutorily specified government formats and because the differences between the three paragraphs are themselves data: state seal vs agency badge, 'Oklahoma OK' legend vs none, badge-number serial vs designated characters.

Legal basis and sources
