Tulsa Police Staffing 'Flat' In Proposed FY22 Budget, But Mayor Says City Needs More Officers

City of Tulsa
At a virtual press briefing following his presentation of a proposed fiscal year 2022 budget to the Tulsa City Council, Mayor G.T. Bynum said Wednesday that while Tulsa Police Department staffing is not being targeted for an increase this year, he plans to pursue adding more than 100 patrol officers as part of next year's budget proposal.
"We are not where we need to be in the Tulsa Police Department," Bynum said, answering a reporter's question about his FY22 budget's public safety components. "When I came in as mayor, we had about 730 officers. Today, we are at about 840, a little over that. But the independent recommendation to us is that we need to be at 950."
