I had an uncle--Uncle Austin--who was a world traveler. He and Aunt Flossie retired when I was very young, and they spent their retirement just about anywhere they could go.

So we didn't see them a whole lot. But when we did, Uncle Austin always asked me what I was going to be when I grew up. I'm sure the answers varied from visit to visit, but one that came up on a couple of occasions was police officer.

And I'm sure one of he got one of those answers after we toured the Owensboro Police Department on a field trip when I was in elementary school. Remember when it was down on 4th Street?

Additionally, my dad had quite a few friends on the police force and I would meet them from time to time and just thought it was really cool.

Well, "growing up to be a policeman" didn't pan out, obviously. But maybe it can for you.

The Owensboro Police Department is looking to hire a new officer.

The testing sessions will happen in October, and according to the OPD's website, your application--if you are interested--must be received no later than October 2nd, 2020.
