This past weekend, our Broken Arrow Police fitness instructors participated in the Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) 5K Run, showing their continued commitment to honoring and remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

This event serves as a powerful reminder of the strength, unity, and resilience within the law enforcement community and the families who carry on the legacy of their loved ones.

We also take a moment to recognize Recruit Frank Leinen, who was included on this year’s Roll Call of Fallen Officers.

Over the last several weeks, recruits trained in Tac-Med and Officer Rescue, learning critical life-saving skills and how to safely extract and treat injured officers during high-risk situations. They also spent time with our K-9 Unit, gaining insight into how these highly trained teams assist with tracking, suspect apprehension, and narcotics detection.

Recruits also paid a visit to the Tulsa Police Bomb Squad, where they were introduced to explosive device recognition, safety protocols, and the specialized work involved in protecting our community from explosive threats.

With just three weeks to go, graduation is right around the corner. We look forward to celebrating the hard work and dedication of our 2025 academy class!
