I want to add clarity to the arrest of a city councilor for proper reporting. The law compels officers to arrest in domestic cases where probable cause exists that an assault occurred. Prosecutors will determine validity and work with the crime victim who made the allegation.

Please join me in thanking Cheryl for nearly 43 years of service to Tulsa. Cheryl spent her years working in TPD Records and is retiring to retire! You’re amazing Cheryl!

Addalyn Bourasaw became an angel on April 3, 2022 after her battle with a brain tumor. She left us with softened hearts and an understanding that we are blessed no matter how bad things are. I’m thankful I was allowed to share space with such a young, big heart! #RememberingAddy

I drove around Tulsa just after 1pm thinking there are so many people in need of a chiropractor. So many heads stuck in an upward-facing position. Then I remembered! #Eclipse2024

That's no moon... never mind, that is a moon

This afternoon, members of the Tulsa Police Department took a few minutes to enjoy this rare celestial event of a solar eclipse!
We hope you got the chance to safely take part (without going blind).

Just thought I’d give you a glimpse of my life the last few weeks. It’s been full of ironing out and prioritizing budget proposals for the next fiscal year. Not fun, but necessary.😬

Still a bit chilly out. The major roads are passable. The side streets and parking lots are sheets of ice. I recommend staying warm and cozy indoors. Of course, first responders don’t have that option. Also, huge shout out to our street crews for keeping us on the roads! 👍🏾

Don’t be fooled, it’s slick. Give everyone more space! I took this pic at a red light, so I was being safe.😁

The weather can’t stop us from remembering MLK Day! #MLKDay
