Tulsa County officials announced a 5-year agreement has been reached between the county and the City of Tulsa.
Through the agreement, Tulsa County will provide detention services for the Tulsa Police Department at the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center.
TPD always used the county jail for those booked with state charges, but used a separate lock-up for those with only municipal charges, until the city closed that facility in July. Since the closure, the city began using the county jail for detention services only on an interim basis.
The city is working with Tulsa Municipal Court staff to conduct certain proceedings virtually at David L. Moss. Along with the planned relocation of the Tulsa Police headquarters to the old State Farm campus in east Tulsa, the city is still considering options for the future location of Tulsa Municipal Court. For now, the court remains downtown.
