Read an article in the Tulsa World yesterday regarding the pay or lack there of for OHP. A lot of little PDs start at quite a bit more. I've always thought of OHP being more elite than Jenks PD, but Jenks pays more to start.
Yep, it's true. And, if the Gov. has her way new hires will not have the 20 year retirement plan that is currently in place. OHP is NOT the place to be here in the state if you are just starting out and want a career in law enforcement.
So, if one would work for 20 years as an OHP officer they could retire and get upwards of 80-90% of their highest pay in retirement? Sorry, but she should do away with retirement programs like these.
As far as the pay. Don't know what it is but generally speaking, most LEO outside of large metro areas are severly underpaid.
I was hoping you would reply. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the OHP. One of my dad's customers was, I think an "old school" Trooper and he has really stuck in my mind for over 20 years. Trooper Mark Zumwaldt.

Yeah, the "old school" guys are the best ... They have some really great personalities ...
