It's a general rule in most modern legal systems, including the US, Canada, Israel, etc.,

that in order to be formally charged under the law, you have to be formally notified,

and faced by your accuser. If your accuser is the "state", then it can be represented

by a police officer.

Can you drop kidnapping charges against your boyfriend after you filed a police report against him in Oklahoma?

First and foremost, make better relationship choices. I know it doesn't directly answer the question, but, seriously... something happened which caused you to file kidnapping charges. Guess what? It was not a one-off thing. As for your question, you're kinda stuck between a rock and hard place. If you drop the charges and say you weren't kidnapped, then you're in a bind for filing a false police report. And, even if you do drop the charges, it doesn't mean the police won't pursue the charges themselves.
