Mike Huff
"Thirty-six years, four months and 15 days, but who's counting? It was a good run,” says Huff.
Sergeant Huff joined the Tulsa Police Department in 1975 and entered Homicide Division five years later.
Many consider him an encyclopedia of death investigations in Tulsa and across the country.
Sergeant Huff estimates he's been involved in more than a 1,000 homicide arrests. He has a passion for what he does and has sacrificed greatly to serve the citizens of Tulsa. Sergeant Huff became a police cadet in 1975, after a heart to heart with his father, while watching a John Wayne movie.
"My dad gave me this great talk about trying lead a life of adventure. He never got that chance after World War II and having kids and I always took that to heart," he said. Sergeant Huff said his career has been a professional dream come true and while it's had its ups and downs, it's never been boring.
"Car chases and shootouts and chasing bad guys through backyards at two in the morning," he said.
When looking back on his years solving the city's most vicious crimes, some stand out as defining moments, especially the mafia hit of Tulsa businessman Roger Wheeler. Learn more about the case on TulsaDetective.com’s media page.
