Like Father, Like Son: Two Generations of Broken Arrow Police

Public service runs deep in the Oelke family, where father Scott and son Jack serve together at the Broken Arrow Police Department. Scott Oki, a dedicated officer with 25 years of experience, inspired Jack to pursue a career in law enforcement from the time he was a toddler. This Everyday Heroes feature explores their inspiring journey, from Jack's childhood memories of his father's K-9 unit to the proud moment Scott pinned badge number 316 on his son. While the job comes with inherent dangers that worry any parent, both officers share a profound sense of fulfillment and mutual respect. Their story highlights the strength of family bonds and the commitment required to protect and serve the Broken Arrow community.
