ODOC diligently removes bad actors who endanger public safety. Recent updates to security measures, using innovative technology, help us protect our inmates and staff. Our Intelligence Unit works actively to stop illegal activity in and around our facilities, even if it involves an employee.
“The overwhelming majority of ODOC’s employees are dedicated to our mission and vision,” stated Director Steven Harpe. “However, we will continue to hold accountable those who fail to protect the safety and security of Oklahomans by not following our policies or state laws.”
Parker has been booked into Cleveland County Detention Center.
