28 Earn Spots on Ocean City Beach Patrol

OCBP hires its 2013 rookie class after a two-day tryout.

After two days of tests that began on Saturday morning (June 15) and included a half-mile ocean swim, a half-mile run on the Ocean City High School track, a 50- to 75-yard surf dash, a 150-yard row in the bay and an interview, 27 men and one woman were selected from a field of about 60 applicants for the 2013 Ocean City Beach Patrol rookie class.

OCBP hiring is competitive and based on the two-day tryout.

Congratulations to the 2013 OCBP rookies:
