Good Job You did way bettwr than I can ever do. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good thing your not going to Tulsa. From what I heard on the radio, their new mayor isn't going to add very many Police type jobs in the near future!!
well actually starting pay for tulsa is 37,500 thanks though. and tulsa gets way more benifts and incentive pay. Plus its bigger and safer to work in. My dad worked for tulsa and my uncle is currently a topped out sergant makking 64,400 a year. Just check it out....

WRONG. That is what half of her campaign was about. Hiring more officers. And fyi the tulsa police dept has not had a single open month from training recruuts in the academy since at least last july. And i know of at least 3 more scheduled academys which will take a good year and a half or more...

First off chill.
Second, if you want to be technical and turn this post into a "mine is bigger than yours" instead of a "hey guys, check this out"...... Owasso's starting pay ranges between $33,927 and $40770 including benefits is $52827 and $61139. Vacation and 401k are the same.
If you get hired, we'll have to plan a celebration at Legends!! Stopped bythere last night (Tuesday), it was better than ever.
Mike
Haha... hey, that sounds great. We'll do it. I interview Monday at 8:30am... now I must fill out this 59 page background form.... after I take two more finals.
Wow, Congrats STan!!! Very impressive scores. I haven't been able to get close to those scores since I went thru military basic training, wayyyyyy back when I was a kid. lol. I think you'll enjoy the Owasso PD. I hear they have some new motorcycle units too.(cough-Gold colored and parked in sneaky spots-cough)
I guess if you ever pull me over I wont be able to jump out and make a run for it. lol.
Celebrate at Legends? There goes Tim again, trying to increase his profit margin for his secret share of Legends stock. hehehehe.
Shouldn't we be celebrating at Daylight Donuts? Badump-bump-chaaaaaa.
Sorry, couldn't resist throwing out one donut joke.
I would have metioned Daylight Doughnuts, but I didn't want to be accused of "profiling or sterotyping" Of course, McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A seem to be popular hang-outs also
Stan
I apologize for jumpin on you. I am sure youll make a fine police officer. Before you know it Owasso's wages will go up more because they are growing so fast. =)
