Deputies To Get Pay Increases
Tulsa County deputies receive a 644 percent raise retroactive to June 1 after the county commission approved the pay hike. Starting pay rises to 605 from 570 a month as Sheriff Faulkner cites IRS confirmation. The move follows Deputy Wesley G. Cole's fatal shooting while working as a Camelot Inn security guard, with deputies noting low wages prompted moonlighting to support families.
