The Choctaw Police Department extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and students of longtime Oklahoma CLEET Fi****ms Instructor Vince O’Neill.

Vince was a highly respected instructor and mentor whose influence reached law enforcement officers across Oklahoma. His dedication to training helped prepare countless officers to make sound decisions, survive dangerous situations, and return home safely.

His knowledge, professionalism, and impact on Oklahoma law enforcement will continue through every officer and instructor he helped train.

Rest easy, Vince. Your legacy will live on. 🇺🇸

Welcome home, Officer Hopkins and Officer Kight!

Both of these guys just got back after a full year deployed to the Middle East together in the same unit. Also welcoming back Firefighter Rhoades from Harrah Fire, who deployed right alongside them.

A year away from family, friends, and home is no small thing. We’re grateful for their service and glad to have all three of them back safe. Welcome home — Harrah is proud of you.

🚌 BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK 🚌

As we prepare to welcome students back to class on August 18th, the Choctaw Police Department would like to remind everyone that school zone speed limits will soon be back in effect. With multiple schools within our jurisdiction, increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic is expected around our campuses each morning and afternoon. That means it’s time to slow down, stay alert, and put safety first.

Under Oklahoma law (Title 47 §11-806.1), all drivers are required to obey reduced speed limits in properly marked school zones during posted hours or when children are present. These laws are in place to protect our most vulnerable residents, our kids. Speeding in a school zone not only puts lives at risk but also carries double the fines for violations. Officers will be actively patrolling these areas to ensure the safety of students, school staff, and families.

As you drive through Choctaw in the coming weeks, please keep an eye out for flashing school zone signs, crossing guards, school buses, and young children who may be crossing the street, sometimes unexpectedly. Your patience and attention behind the wheel can make a real difference.

Let’s work together to make this school year a safe one. On behalf of the Choctaw Police Department, thank you for helping us protect our community’s children. Slow down. Stay alert. And let’s all do our part to keep school zones safe.
