In the final years of Stanley Glanz’s leadership, the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office may not have provided the required notifications to the state regarding Tulsa Jail inmate injuries that were considered to be serious, a Tulsa World investigation found.

During a three-year span from 2013-15, the Sheriff’s Office made no reports of serious inmate injuries to the state Health Department. However, records from EMSA show 60 transports for assaults or traumatic injuries were made from the jail to hospitals during that same period.

The only serious injury report filed by the Sheriff’s Office in those three years involved a jail staffer who was hit with a broom handle by an inmate.

Serious injuries that must be reported to the state Health Department are defined as “life threatening or requiring transfer to outside medical facility,” according to the Oklahoma Administrative Code.

From the outset of 2011 through about the midpoint of 2016, EMSA records show 99 hospital transports from the jail for assaults or traumatic injuries. The Sheriff’s Office has reported 13 serious injuries to the Health Department in that span, 11 of which were to inmates and the other two to jail staff.
