‘Serious Need’ For More Training: Tulsa s Police Chief Reacts To Conviction Of Derek Chauvin
While a jury convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin Tuesday for the death of George Floyd, Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin said he was not surprised. From day one, we knew that that was not proper, said Franklin.
Just as people in Oklahoma protested after Floyd s death, Franklin said his department of 848 officers has also been following the case. I think the takeaway is that there is a serious, serious need to ensure that training takes place amongst law enforcement, said Franklin.
Franklin told News On 6 training at TPD was cut back in recent years due to budgets, but he has set aside resources to add training.
