Operation SAFE

Gov. Kevin Stitt is warning three Oklahoma cities: either enforce the state’s anti-camping law or receive a sizable bill. But Attorney General Gentner Drummond said he doesn’t think those threats are justified.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is threatening to invoice Tulsa and Oklahoma City Police Departments for costs associated with clearing homeless encampments on state land.

It is a tale of three cities.On the morning of May 22, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers cleared a homeless encampment on vacant state-owned property in Norman under Gov. Kevin Stitt’s Operation SAFE initiative. Service providers said there was no warning that an encampment sweep would be happening.
