The 143rd police academy of the Oklahoma City Police Department began Friday as the department seeks to fill more than 150 open positions. It s a stressful day, but they know that the faster they come together and they unite as a team, the more successful that they re going to be, said Recruiting Sgt. Megan Morgan.
The newest class comprises 25 recruits, 23 men and two women. They range in age from 21 to 40 years old. Morgan said there is a possibility that not all 25 recruits will make it to the end of the 28-week academy. The recruits in this class are going to undergo over 1,000 hours of training, she said.
