A TPD patrol car was completely covered in flowers, messages of support, and more as community members gathered together and prayed for the Tulsa Police officers.

Tulsa’s police chief, mayor, and the district attorney said this is a time to unite and show support for the two officers, their families, and other first responders.

Tulsa FOP Lodge 93 has set up the Tulsa Fraternal Order of Police Benevolence Fund in order to support officers and their families in times like this. You can follow this link to donate.
