REGIONAL CHAMPIONS! 🏆🧠

Huge congratulations to our 5th and 6th grade Academic Team! They put their knowledge to the test today and walked away as the OAAC Regional Champions!

The first Oklahoma Highway Patrol Academy began in 1937, with The Essentials of a Patrolman placed at the front of the cadet training manual. Nearly a century later, the expectations remain. The tools and training have evolved, but the responsibility of being a trooper has not.

Those who wear the uniform carry forward a tradition of courage, professionalism, and sacrifice. For those considering earning it, understand this: the badge represents a commitment to the citizens of Oklahoma.

We are not looking for perfection—only men and women willing to train hard, serve honorably, and rise to the responsibility.

If that standard speaks to you, there is a place for you here.

Apply today for the 76th OHP Academy!
