Two New Officials Named to Oklahoma Highway Patrol
Governor Johnston Murray announced two top Highway Patrol officials and a state of emergency. Lawrence Bellatti was named state safety commissioner and Lt. Col. Carl Tyler becomes commander, with policy to substitute arrests or warnings for speeding and unsafe operation. The move shifts uniformed troopers to patrol cars and marks the broadest reform by a governor since 1937, as the state’s traffic death toll sits 54 higher than last year. Bellatti and Blood will return to private business after the term ends January 10 next year.
