TULSA, Ok. - Several Texas police departments are in town trying to hire the 124 recently laid off Tulsa police officers. Darin Ehrenrich has only been on the Tulsa Police Department for a year, but he's been laid off twice. Ehrenrich says, "Unfortunately, the economy is in a position where they can't afford to pay our salaries and it's just a devastating situation." Darin says he wants to work for a department that does not depend solely on sales tax to pay police like Tulsa does. Mayor Bartlett and the police union have a meeting scheduled for today to look for a way to rehire the officers.

  • Police layoffs
    I work at a hotel in Tulsa where one of our vans was recently vandalized while an employee was in it! The police would not come out because they are only responding to injuries! They vandals threw a brick through the window and glass shards went into the employee's skin and eye. Isn't that an injury? We no longer have enough police to scare away our criminals, and that is frightening!
