Friday, May 18, starting at 5am, we're taking you live to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Academy. See more than 50 cadets do their morning physical training and yes, John Flick will become cadet #53. We'll show you what it takes to train future troopers to protect you.

The highway patrol academy is currently taking applications until May 31. Click on the link above to find out all the requirements and qualifications needed. Right now there's a shortage of troopers for the state, so they need some dedicated Oklahomans. I know there's plenty out there with a desire to be in law enforcement.

We look forward to bringing you this live event in the morning and hope you'll tune in. I'll be behind the scenes and will blog tomorrow about the experience! Julie
