Developing a Policing Plan (ft. Mike Carter)

In this episode of OMAG All Access, host Bill Tackett is joined by Mike Carter, the City Manager of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, who recently spoke at the OMAG Law Enforcement Showcase about the creation of a transformative "policing plan." This plan, developed under Mike’s leadership as the former police chief, has played a key role in fostering trust and transparency between the Sand Springs Police Department and its community.

Mike shares the story behind the plan, its evolution, and its impact on both the department and public relations. Mike provides valuable insights on how other municipalities can implement a similar approach, from addressing lessons learned after Ferguson to collaborating with officers, the city council, and the public. Tune in for a deep dive into proactive policing, community engagement, and how building a living, evolving document can strengthen relationships within your community.
