💪 Class 155: Physical Fitness Exam Complete!

This morning, our recruits completed their Physical Fitness Exam, consisting of sit-ups, a 300-meter sprint, push-ups, and a 1.5-mile run. Recruits are required to reach the 60th percentile in each category by Week 16 to continue their journey to the badge. Class 155 accomplished that goal by Week 6!

Congratulations, recruits! This is a great example of how the work you put in before the academy through pre-academy workouts and preparation, combined with the effort you give every day in the academy, pays off.

The foundation is set. Now it’s time to sharpen the sword, keep pushing, and continue improving those fitness numbers over the next 10 weeks. Keep working!

Interested in starting your own journey? Join us November 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the OKCPD Training Center for our upcoming hiring event! We’ll have specialized unit displays, opportunities to connect with our officers, and, for the first time, the opportunity for first-time applicants to begin the hiring process on-site.

Week one is in the books.

Class 155 started this week with 67 recruits. They’ll head into the weekend 60 strong.

The first week brought long days, early mornings, plenty of challenges, and a lot of lessons. There are many more long days ahead, but the end of this road will be worth every one of them.

To the families, friends, and support systems behind these recruits: they’re going to need you. This weekend is their time to recharge, recalibrate, and prepare for another demanding week. Your encouragement, patience, and support will mean more than you may realize as this journey continues.

Let them rest. Let them reset. Then send them back Monday ready to give maximum effort.

Week one down. A lot more road ahead. Stay strong, Class 155. 🫡

Day 1 is in the books for Recruit Class 155.

During the second half of the day, the recruits spent time in the classroom, completed equipment checkout, and got their first look at the gear they’ll rely on throughout their training. We provide every recruit with the best equipment out there, because that’s the OKCPD standard.

They finished the day with indoor PT followed by a run under the Oklahoma sun. It was a good way to find out who came prepared, and who didn’t.

We started the morning with 67 recruits. We ended the day with 65.

This job isn’t for everyone. The ones who take pride in the work, embrace the challenge, and are willing to put in the effort will continue to grow with every day of this academy.

To the 65 who made it through Day 1: congratulations. You showed up, put in the work, and earned the right to come back tomorrow.

It won’t get easier, but you will get stronger, sharper, and better at handling the work and the pressure. Keep pushing, keep learning, and keep showing up. Day 2 starts tomorrow.

Day 1 update: Class 155 had their first inspection… and they failed.

That was followed by their first trip to the PIT, where they got their introduction to a field that has been nourished by the blood, sweat, and tears of every academy class that came before them.

Welcome to the academy, recruits. Stay strong. There’s plenty more to come. 💪
