Okla. Stat. tit. 57, § 57-509.2: Town of Taft - Patrols and law enforcement

A. In addition to their other security and oversight

obligations, the Department of Corrections shall patrol the

perimeters of the Jess Dunn Correctional Center and the George Nigh

Training Center and also make patrols through the town of Taft.

B. Due to the unusual circumstance that the facilities named in

Section 1 of this act are so closely situated to the town of Taft

and for the further reason that said town is without any local law

enforcement officer on an ongoing basis, it is the intent of the

Legislature that the Department of Public Safety shall establish a

permanent trooper position to be based and stationed in the town of

Taft.
