Council committee reviews $20,900 federal grant for Internet Crimes Against Children investigations
Summary
The committee considered a $20,900 appropriation from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, passed through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, to support equipment and training for the police department’s crimes-against-children work.
The committee reviewed a proposed supplemental appropriation of $20,900 recognizing grant revenue from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to the Tulsa Police Department for work on Internet Crimes Against Children.
Jared Ward, representing the Police Department, said the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is passing the funds through the OSBI to the city. The money will pay for equipment and training: travel and course fees to send three detectives to specialized training, network devices for forensic storage, and monitors and cameras for mobile interviews.
Committee members asked whether the appropriation was adding officers; staff clarified the grant covered training and equipment only and would fund travel costs for three detectives to attend specialized courses. No action vote was recorded in committee; the appropriation proceeds as a budget supplemental to be processed under the city’s grant procedures.
