Tulsa Police Host 'Welcome To Policing' Recruitment Event

Tulsa Police welcomed those interested in becoming officers to the police academy for a recruitment event on Saturday.

People 18 to 45 could talk with officers and specialty units including major crimes, river patrol, dive team and air support.

Recruitment officers say as long as someone has solid communication skills and good ethics, they can handle the rest.

"When they come to the academy, they're gonna learn to shoot, they're gonna learn the legal stuff, so we look for people of all walks of life to get the diversity of the person," said Khara Rogers, TPD Recruiting Officer.

TPD says it hires year round and usually hosts three, six-month long academy classes a year.
