Annual TPD Blood Drive helps with critical blood shortage at American Red Cross

In June, the Tulsa Police Department partnered with the American Red Cross of Oklahoma for the annual TPD Blood Drive, honoring the life of Sgt. Craig Johnson.

The department held two blood drives, one downtown at Tulsa Police Headquarters and the other at the Tulsa Police Training Division, where many of the rookies took part in donating.

This year, the department collected 74 units of blood to support the American Red Cross, which is currently facing a critical shortage of blood donations.
