Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter has responded to State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister’s request for guidance regarding President Trump’s recent executive order on police reform. In a letter to Superintendent Walters, Hunter stated that the executive order does not have any direct impact on Oklahoma’s law enforcement agencies, as they are governed by state laws and policies.
Hunter pointed out that the executive order focuses on establishing a certification system for law enforcement agencies and incentivizing the adoption of best practices, which are already in place in Oklahoma. He also emphasized that the order does not impose any new requirements on state or local law enforcement agencies.
In response to Superintendent Walters’ concerns about funding implications, Hunter assured her that the executive order does not come with any funding mandates for Oklahoma. He stressed that the state has the authority to determine its own law enforcement policies and procedures without federal interference.
Overall, Hunter’s response to Superintendent Walters’ request for guidance on the Trump executive order is clear: Oklahoma’s law enforcement agencies are not directly impacted by the order, and the state has the autonomy to continue operating under its own laws and policies. This statement provides reassurance to educators and law enforcement officials in Oklahoma that they can continue to enforce the law without any new federal mandates.
