Good morning, Odessa.

The Odessa Police Department welcomed the Ignited Homeschool Group as students and teacher aides visited the training facility—Dispatch, Patrol, the Gym, and the Supply Division—to learn about police work.

The visit helped them understand how officers work to protect our community.

At Local Hero Night, kids climbed into fire trucks and explored equipment while meeting first responders—an event that let them see those who keep our community safe.

Yesterday the Springfield Cardinals defeated the Midland Rockhounds 13-1 to clinch the 2025 Texas League Championship, with early scoring that set the tone for a dominant win.
