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.😬

MISSING AND ENDANGERED -- 39yo Cassidy Ritchie

Cassidy Ritchie has not been in communication with her family since Saturday. Her light blue '06 Chrysler Pacifica, Tag J1L90, is also missing.

Ritchie was recently involved in a domestic disturbance.

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

ARE YOU READY FOR THE COLD?

Dangerously cold temps are here and will get worse this weekend. Keep electronics charged and stay home if you can.

I’m excited to see a new housing development in North Tulsa! Black Wall Street Square will be built thanks to many North Tulsa advocates, city leaders, and Boomtown Development. This build will do wonders for the Tulsa community!

I had a great meeting with Donna Walker, program manager for Lilyfield in Tulsa. They are doing incredible work in North Tulsa educating and empowering families. Tulsa Police loves supporting programs strengthening families for a stronger Tulsa!

❄️🚧 ICY ROADS 🚧❄️

There are several areas of Tulsa where the roads are icy and slick. We are working several collisions, some with injuries.

Take extra precautions and delay your morning commute, if possible.

Make sure to bring emergency supplies with you.

The Tulsa community continues to invest in Tulsa Police. Today, construction officially began on a new heliport for our Air Support Unit. When complete, it will house our helicopters and office space for our pilots. Thanks to all those who made this project come to life!

Homicide Detectives, Major Crimes Detectives, the Fugitive Warrants Unit, and patrol officers did a phenomenal job working this investigation to its conclusion!

Congratulations to our newest 17 Tulsa Police Officers! There are people throughout Tulsa today - in school, at work, at home getting ready for the holidays - and they may not know your name right now, but one day you will save their life. You are remarkable people and I am so…

👮CONGRATULATIONS TO ACADEMY CLASS 126👮‍♀️
