☀️ SCHOOL'S OUT — LET'S KEEP SUMMER SAFE! 🛹🛴

With summer break here, more kids are outside enjoying the warm weather, and we're seeing an increase in the use of skateboards, scooters, and electric scooters throughout Blackwell.

The Blackwell Police Department would like to remind everyone of the City's skateboarding and toy vehicle ordinances designed to keep riders, pedestrians, and motorists safe.

Some important reminders:

✅ Use sidewalks whenever they are available.
✅ If no sidewalk exists, ride with traffic and as far to the right side of the roadway as possible.
✅ Always yield to pedestrians, bicycles, and motor vehicles.
✅ Never hold onto or attach yourself to a moving vehicle.
✅ Respect private property and posted "No Skateboarding" signs.

🚫 Skateboards and toy vehicles are prohibited in the business district and many city-owned properties, parks, ball fields, parking lots, and other designated locations.

⚠️ Parents: Please take a few minutes to review these rules with your children, especially if they ride skateboards, scooters, or electric scooters. Understanding the rules helps prevent injuries, protects public property, and ensures everyone can enjoy our parks and sidewalks safely.

Together, we can make this a safe and enjoyable summer for everyone in our community.

On 04-08-2026 at approximately 1841 hours, the Blackwell Police Department received numerous 911 calls about a fight in the parking lot across from the B Street Ball Fields and gun shots going off. When Officers arrived on the scene, they observed a large crowd of people that had just came out of the baseball game. Officers on scene were told that some parents had just came out of a Tee ball game and an altercation between several of the parents happened. A physical fight broke out and a female subject pulled out a handgun and fired it into the air at least one time and then pointed it a one of the individuals that was involved in the fight. Shortly after this happened 3 of the people that were involved left the parking lot in a gray Chevy pick-up truck.

🚔 DUI LAW UPDATE – PLEASE READ 🚔
Beginning November 1, 2025, new DUI laws are now in effect in the State of Oklahoma. These updates strengthen penalties and enforcement related to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Under Oklahoma law, a DUI may now be charged as Aggravated DUI if a person is convicted of DUI and commits one or more of the following acts:
• Blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.15 or higher
• Causing a motor vehicle crash that requires a law enforcement report
• Committing certain traffic violations while impaired (including improper lane use, following too closely, unsafe turns, or failure to obey traffic control devices)
• Fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer
• Driving 20 mph or more over the speed limit, or 10 mph or more over the speed limit in an active school zone
• Operating a vehicle with a passenger under 18 years of age
• Driving in a reckless manner
An Aggravated DUI is a felony offense and carries significantly enhanced penalties.

While laws may change, one thing never changes:
Driving impaired puts lives at risk — including your own.
We want everyone in our community to make it home safely. If you plan to drink:
✔️ Choose a designated driver
✔️ Use Uber or Lyft
✔️ Call a taxi
✔️ Call a friend or family member to pick you up
There is no excuse worth risking a life, a criminal record, or your future.
The Blackwell Police Department will continue working to keep our roads safe, but we need your help. Make the responsible choice before you drink — not after.
Let’s look out for one another, Blackwell. 💙
Arrive alive.

📢 Legal Update: Oklahoma Supreme Court Decision – S*x Offender Residency Requirements

On February 4, 2025, the Oklahoma Supreme Court issued its decision in Donaldson v. City of El Reno (2025 OK 9), addressing whether a “grandfather clause” allows registered s*x offenders to remain at a residence that is now considered unlawful under current residency restrictions.

The Court ruled that no grandfather clause exists. Title 57, § 590 of the S*x Offenders Registration Act (SORA) prohibits registered s*x offenders from residing within 2,000 feet of city parks and other designated locations. The Court held that these residency restrictions apply to all registered s*x offenders, regardless of when they were convicted or when they became subject to SORA.
Additionally, the Court determined that applying the current residency requirements does not violate the ex post facto clauses of either the United States Constitution or the Oklahoma Constitution.

📌 What this means:
All registered s*x offenders must comply with current residency restrictions, even if they lived at a location before their conviction or before the law was enacted or amended.

The Blackwell Police Department remains committed to enforcing state law and ensuring the safety of our community. If you have questions regarding compliance or residency requirements, please contact our department directly.
