Project Overview: Solve police staffing shortages by leading the nation in paid officer training. Increase police academy hours from 1093 to over 4000. The curriculum should include 21 months of theoretical training and 15 months of practical training focusing on legal studies, criminal law, social sciences, and crisis management. Explore funding models similar to Tulsa Achieves which is primarily funded through local property tax. Incentives offered could include student debt relief of a four year degree earned at state college upon completion of training hours focusing on graduates of city public schools.

Why This Matters for Tulsa: Increased theoretical training time better prepares officers for complex diverse scenarios improving citizen safety.  Increases public trust in local police changing cultural views of policing, driving up recruitment rates. Leading the nation will increase department and community pride.
