title
Approval of and authorization to execute an Interagency Agreement with Tulsa County for services provided by the Tulsa Area Community Intervention Center
End
Background:
The Broken Arrow Police Department has utilized the Tulsa Area Community Intervention Center (TACIC) for more than a decade to retain juveniles who have been arrested for a violation of a municipal ordinance or state law. TACIC is operated by the Tulsa County Juvenile Detention Home under the direction of the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners. Among its many functions, TACIC conducts intake screenings and holds juveniles until they can be released to a parent, guardian, or approved responsible adult. The services relieve a police officer of the responsibility of monitoring a juvenile until they can be released. In FY25, BAPD took 53 juveniles to the facility, with approximately half of them going to detention and half being admitted to TACIC. The number taken by BAPD represents 5.8% of the total number of juveniles admitted to the facility
Historically, the Broken Arrow Police Department paid TACIC $6,000 annually for their services. On October 16, 2025, we were notified that TACIC was restructuring its service fees and were presented with two options. The first option was to pay TACIC $25,498.29 for FY26. The second option was to pay $944.38 for each juvenile admitted. The fee is based on the average cost per juvenile over the three previous fiscal years.
Because the new agreement was presented well after the approval of the FY26 budget, we have elected the second option. We anticipate absorbing the additional expense within our current operating budget.
Cost: $25,000
