National Faith & Blue Weekend 2024

On 10/12/2024, we were proud to take part in two events celebrating National Faith and Blue Weekend!

The Mingo Valley Division attended a major event at God's Shining Light Church in east Tulsa. Chief Larsen spoke to the crowd about the weekend, and Officers were on hand answering questions about the department.
Officers with the K-9 Unit and Helicopter Unit also attended the event, which featured free haircuts, a cook out, basketball games, face painting, a car show, and much more!

Officers from the Gilcrease Division also attended a Faith and Blue event Saturday afternoon at the TCC Northeast campus! The Tulsa Police Bomb Squad K-9 made an appearance, and kids and families got the chance to check out the robot! The event also featured a cookout, games, candy, and a helicopter appearance!

ABOUT FAITH & BLUE: Started in 2020, Faith & Blue was launched to facilitate safer, stronger, more just and unified communities by directly enabling local partnerships among law enforcement professionals, residents, businesses and community groups through the connections of local faith-based organizations. The event is free.

The initiative aims to re-calibrate police-community relations through solutions-focused, in-person, socially distanced and/or virtual activities that are organized jointly by faith-based or other community groups and law enforcement agencies.

Love seeing this! I'm an hrs drive away from Tulsa, all my Dr's appointments are there and the only reason I haven't moved to different Dr's, closer to me is purely because of TPD! I kid you not, im scared witless of driving and shopping in Tulsa but because of TPD's presence, I feel alot safer and I know if i ever had an emergency an officer would help me. Thank you TPD for your sacrifice and presence on the streets of Tulsa! Us small town folks really do appreciate you and your hard work!
