We will learn the details of a plan to implement Community Policing in Tulsa later today.

The Tulsa Commission on Community Policing will submit its recommendations to Tulsa leaders this afternoon at City Hall.

Mayor G.T. Bynum created the commission in December 2016 and asked the group to provide recommendations regarding community policing strategies that could be implemented in Tulsa.

This follows the death of an unarmed Black man in Tulsa last fall. That put a renewed focus on police interaction with minority communities.
