BPD prepares for ‘Operation Slick Streets’

February 19, 2019

The Bartlesville Police Department is set to kick in to “Operation Slick Streets” mode in the event of inclement weather or private property accidents that occur when manpower is very low, Chief Tracy Roles said this week.

“Operation Slick Streets allows citizens involved in minor traffic accidents during times when police manpower is 50 percent or less to exchange information and complete an accident form at a later time,” Roles said. “Certain criteria must be met for these forms to be used, however. There must be no injuries, no impaired driver involved and no disabled vehicles blocking the roadway.”

Roles said Oklahoma Collision Report Insurance Exchange forms are available at all Bartlesville Quik Trips, On-Cue Convenience Store, on the City’s website, www.cityofbartlesville.org and at the Police Department, 615 S.E. Johnstone Ave.

“We will likely add businesses and organizations to this list in the coming weeks,” he said.
