Speeding on the backroads of Midland-Odessa is a common—and dangerous—issue.

Efforts like Operation Cruise Control aim to combat this growing concern.
The Odessa Police Department is hiring—and they’re offering more than just a badge. With strong pay, great benefits, and a chance to serve your own community, it might be time to consider joining OPD. Whether you're starting fresh or switching careers, this could be your next move.
