After a yearlong hiatus due to the pandemic, the Tulsa State Fair is back! It starts Thursday, September 30^th and runs through October 10th. The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office wants to make sure fair goers stay safe and have a great time during the fair.

Child Safety

Over the 11 days of the event, more than a million people are expected to attend the Tulsa State Fair. With crowds this large, it’s easy for children to get separated from their families. Throughout the most recent fair in 2019, TCSO reunited 101 lost children with their families.

To help make reuniting lost kids with their families faster and easier, TCSO offers wrists bands for children. Parents write their cell phone numbers on the bands, so that if their child gets lost, deputies can call the number on the wristband and make plans to reunite the parents with their child.

The wrist bands are free. Families can pick them up at TCSO’s Command Post near the entrance gate on the east side of Expo Square or at TCSO’s booth on the upper level of Expo Square.

If your child becomes lost, immediately alert a Deputy or go to the “lost child” center on the east end of the midway near Central Park Hall.

Before You Arrive

• Talk to your children about what to do if they get lost. Let them know that our Deputies are there to help them, and not be afraid to ask us for help.
• Take a picture of your children with your cell phone. This will provide a current photo of your child and what they are wearing.

Don’t Tempt Vehicle Burglars

Without the “Park and Ride” bus service this year, there will be more vehicles parked around the fair grounds. This will create a larger target for vehicle burglars. To reduce your chances of becoming a victim, lock your vehicle and make sure no valuables are visible through the windows.

INCASE OF AN EMERGENCY, NOTIFY TCSO & GIVE FIRST RESPONDERS ROOM TO WORK

The midway can be crowded. So in case of a medical or law enforcement emergency, please move aside and give first responders room to do their jobs.

Guns are not permitted at the fair under 21 O.S. § 1290.22, section D.3

TCSO is excited to host our first ever “Ladies of Law Enforcement” event. This event is a great opportunity for women to explore the various career opportunities that TCSO has to offer.

The sessions will end with a panel discussion. The panelists will be female law enforcement members from TCSO as well as surrounding agencies.

The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office is excited to partner with “Going Hard for Christ Church” and “Ministerio Cristiano Seguidores de Jesus” to offer job opportunities to the communities these local churches serve. This is the first year we’ve collaborated to hold the “Building Trust by Building Communities Family Career Fair”.

TCSO is always looking to hire diverse and bilingual applicants who have a desire to serve their community. Our recruiters will host a job fair at “Going Hard for Christ” on Sunday, October 11^th. Bilingual Deputies and Detention Officers will be there to answer any questions applicants have, as well as share important safety information. These materials will be available in both English and Spanish.

Sheriff Vic Regalado said, “The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office looks forward to a positive collaboration with Going Hard for Christ and Ministerio Cristiano Seguidores de Jesus; both in fellowship, worship and in providing their community members job opportunities here at the Sheriff’s Office.”

Pastor Lawrence Peoples says “I am extremely excited about the partnership between GHFCC and TCSO. This partnership will help narrow the gap between the community and law enforcement, by building strong, positive relationships”.

The job fair is open to the public. It will be held at the Going Hard for Christ Community Center, which is located directly behind the Church’s main building at 205 S Sheridan. The event will run from 2:00pm to 5:00 pm on Sunday, October 11th. The Sheriff is scheduled to speak during the morning church service in the main sanctuary at 11:00 am.
