Oklahoma state trooper jobs require more than just authority and a badge. Joining law enforcement agencies requires a large amount of training in public safety in order to fulfill the needs of Oklahoma state law enforcement. We often think of policing as being mainly concerned with the catching of drug dealers, bank robbers, and sex offenders. Most policing by the Oklahoma state police force is about presence and prevention of injury and deaths on Oklahoma state highways. Without a police presence on an Oklahoma state hwy, there would be a much higher level of automobile injuries and death. The Oklahome state trooper career does involve the exciting stuff we see on TV, however much of the important work of the Oklahoma state highway patrol is more mundane. I am not speaking of the necessary paperwork but rather the day to day ticketing of people who forget the highway code enacted by the Oklahoma state authorizes. Ticketing is about police presence more that the actual punishing of drivers who transgress the state laws. In Oklahoma state trooper academy, no doubt, they teach that drivers need reminders that there are rules for the road. Seeing an Oklahoma state trooper ticketing someone is often as effective as a ticket. People are reminded that there is law enforcement, change their behaviors and therefore Oklahoma public safety is improved.
