  • A 45-page report reveals that the city tends to incorrectly institutionalize adults with mental health issues.
  • Police responses often escalate crises instead of utilizing behavioral health professionals, leading to avoidable force.
  • Oklahoma officials acknowledge mental health system improvements are necessary but criticize the DOJ's approach as potential overreach.
  • The DOJ aims to resolve these findings, with a possibility of lawsuit if cooperation is not achieved.
