Fortunately, I don't have many reasons to speak with on duty police officers! But when I do have a reason, I am glad to know that Norman police officers will be on the job!
I, recently, had some checks stolen and forged. I took the canceled checks to the Norman Police Department to file a report. We knew who forged the checks and this person is already in jail on unrelated matters, so I wanted to get this filed and pushed through before he could get out again.
We were lucky enough to have Officer Stewart Snider assigned to the case. I assumed we would drop off the paperwork and it would sit on someone's desk for a few days before anything got done... I was wrong! Officer Snider got right on the case, and is doing everything he can to ensure that this person will not continue getting away with his crimes.
I have never experienced police officers getting right on the case like this... I am grateful that the Norman Police Department believes in getting the job done!

Norman Health Department has great facilities and a brand new building which makes the visit more pleasant. The nurses are all very helpful and kind and willing to help you. The Health Departments planned pregnancy program is wonderful, and they do offer programs for free birth control or planning. The Health Department also offers shots for free for children, so it is a wonderful place to take your child before school! The wait can be long, so make sure to plan accordingly!

We have a YMCA here in Norman, I love this place. It's is a really great place for the kids to hang out and for you to work out. I used to go all the time. They have a weight room, treadmills, Like six basket ball courts. There is also a Whirl Pool and indoor swimming pool. You have to have a membership to go. Best of all if you like running and don't always like to do it outside via weather or what ever the YMCA has an indoor running track.

You know how it seems we're always saying, "I wish we would have had those when we were little"? Here is another example of how things improve with time!!!
Andrews Park, in Norman, has sooo many fun attractions for everyone! Located right across the street from the police station, it is a quiet, safe area to enjoy some fun, quality time with the family!
My kids and I have been visiting almost on a daily basis recently. Since my youngest son started homeschooling, I know it is good for him to get outdoors and have some fun, so this works out really well.
The main reason the kids love to visit Andrews Park is because of their awesome Splash Pad!!! This is a section where, on those ninety plus degree weather days, you can cool off, with some great, free, water play! They have a variety of water cannons, sprinklers, tipping buckets full of water and more! On a weekend day, you will see this area completely full of toddlers, children and adults, splashing around, having a blast! And... I know I mentioned it, but this is worth pointing out again... it is free!!!
Andrews Park also offers several different playgrounds to choose from. I love it, because there are options for the youngest of children on up, and it keeps the kids spread out, so no one place is too crowded, even on the busiest of days.
My oldest son has his favorite section as well... the skate park! Andrews Park has a section devoted to the extreme sports fans! They offer half pipes and ramps for the kids to ride their skateboards or bikes and practice their skills.
A favorite for children and adults alike is the concert area, where all throughout the summer months, the family can bring their chairs, blankets and sunscreen, to enjoy a free weekly concert! They feature lots of local bands, and some great family focused entertainment!
With all of this offered at one place, there is no reason to sit home this summer!

The Norman Public library offers so much for the entire community. They are a very community oriented business, offering tutoring for those learning to read, tons of activities for the children, and a free, cool, clean environment to just get away. The Norman Public Library offers a huge collection of books, dvds, any kind of learning material you could possibly need.
They offer several computers, with free internet access, for anyone with a library card. If you need help with the computers, or anything throughout the library, they have a wonderful, educated staff of employees, who are willing to help at any time.
The Norman Public Library is located in the Norman Municipal Complex, just North of the Main Street Post Office, and across the street from one of the greatest parks in the area, Andrews Park.
This is a great place to learn, get your work done, or spend some quality time with the kids. It is a wonderful environment that welcomes all ages!

Pioneer Library system includes most of the cleveland county residents and libraries. It has many books, however they are limited and sometimes the waitlist for a book will be extremely long. They also have dvds and music you can loan (for free!). The pioneer library system tries to have many events to get children interested in reading. Overall it is a good system.

More
The main thing I don't like about Outpatient Behavorial Medicine of Norman Regional is that they do not have a psychiatrist available to prescribe medication. This causes a problem with many insurance companies, as they only allow one facility for your mental health issues. So, you are left to decide whether to pay out of your pocket to see a psychiatrist, or have your primary care physician presribe these medications. From my experience, most primary care physicians do not like to prescribe medications for depression, etc., and they also lack the knowledge that psychiatrists have, in helping patients with mental health issues.
I believe there is only one counselor, currently, with their facility. She has a lot of training, but not all people would like working with her. She comes across as very harsh and abrasive. This could be good, if you want someone who is really going to push you to grow and learn, but when you have self esteem issues, sometimes this isn't the best approach. It would really depend on what type of counselor you are looking for and comfortable with.
My main reason for not recommending them, however, is because of the lack of a psychiatrist on staff. I feel that it is a necessity if you are suffering from a chronic mental health issue.
