OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — $2,000,000 will be distributed to law enforcement agencies across Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor shared the recipients of the 2023 Safe Oklahoma Grant Wednesday morning. O’Connor was joined by Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin, Oklahoma City Police Chief Wade Gourley, Norman Police Chief Kevin Foster, and Pauls Valley Police Chief Mitch McGill.
These four agencies received nearly half of the grant funds, totaling at $876,601.
O’Connor says the funds will help agencies target crime in their communities while also updating equipment and purchasing new resources.
“I am happy to announce that my office received a record number of applications this year and was able to allocate to more agencies than ever before,” said Attorney General O’Connor. “This program has proven to help our law enforcement partners do their job better and reduce crime across the state. My office is honored to play a role in making communities safer by distributing these funds.”
The Safe Oklahoma Grant was founded in 2012 and is funded by an annual appropriation from the state legislature. Every law enforcement agency in the state, including campus police, are eligible for the grant.
