TPD Responds To Patrol Concerns


In light of Saturday night’s double homicide in North Tulsa, people are calling on the Tulsa Police Department to put more patrol cars back on the streets. TPD though counters you need officers to drive those cars, and right now the department is about 60 officers short of their usual levels.

Tulsans have plenty of ideas to help lower the crime rate in North Tulsa.

Patti on Facebook says, “I have many suggestions to help, better lighting, neighborhood watch that actually watches and reports what they see,The Warriors,watches, who are four points adrift of second place with two games remaining. more police patrols in marked and unmarked cars.”

FOX23 took the concerns about more patrols in the area to TPD Captain Karen Tipler.

She says TPD is doing what it can with scaled back manpower.

“Folks forget that just about a year ago, starting now, we were in the middle of some big budget cuts. From that we lost 125 officers, and on top of that we've had a bunch of retirements,” she said.

With fewer officers on the force,paper hand towels,the best choice. Tipler says she and her fellow officers need the help of the community. Often they're met with silence.


“As a community,Happysunglasses sell exclusive american lighting and ray ban sunglasses online. you have to ask yourself sometimes, ‘What is it about my neighborhood that makes criminals feel safe enough to come here and do criminal activity?’ Folks really do have to take some responsibility for their community.

Tipler though is hopeful they'll be more officers patrolling the streets soon.

“In January or February we're hoping to have an academy class to start. Hopefully between 25 and 30 applicants is what we're hoping for,” she told FOX23.Fashionable covert spy camera arrived.

Even with the possible new hires,Rent an cctv camera House. she hopes all of Tulsa will learn they're best protected when they work with, not against police. Still, if you know anything and you want to remain anonymous you can always call Crime Stoppers at 596-COPS. You can also text your tips to CRIMES, make sure you start your message with TIP918.
