(Oklahoma City)– State Troopers with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol want to invite members of the public to attend an open house at Troop YB, located near the old Tanger Outlet Mall just off the Turner Turnpike at the Stroud exit.
Troopers will be on hand Friday, October 3rd, in Stroud to answer questions and give one on one recruiting advice to anyone interested in learning more about the Patrol. The event will begin at 9:30 AM and last until noon. There will be representatives from AAA on hand to provide vehicle safety checks, which include checking tire tread wear and air pressure, vehicle fluids, etc… Certified child car seat technicians from Oklahoma Safekids will be available to properly install child car seats and answer any questions pertaining to vehicle passenger safety for kids.
The Oklahoma “Beat the Heat” race cars will be on display, along with new OHP interceptor and pursuit vehicles, including patrol motorcycles and more! Please make plans to attend this special day, designed to increase safety and awareness for all members of the public.
“We hope people of all ages will come and visit. Retired folks, college students looking for an exciting career, even school aged children who may have never met a state trooper up close and personal. This is a perfect opportunity to meet troopers in a relaxed atmosphere, ask questions, and see all the new equipment used by members of the patrol”, stated OHP Captain George Brown.
Once again the open house will be held from 9:30 AM until noon on Friday, October 3rd, at the former Tanger Outlet Mall located at the Stroud exit on the Turner Turnpike.
