Airspace Structure; Procedure
Aircraft Y requested an opposite direction practice approach which was approved by the Tower. Tower scanned down 2 strips; one of which was Aircraft X. TRACON called back to ask if we needed to break Aircraft Y off of the approach; local control responded with no. I'm not sure how much time passed; Aircraft Y was well inside of the cutoff point per our local opposite direction operation procedures when Aircraft X departed on a 240 heading climbing to 3;000 feet.A supervisor was working Local Control. Our supervisors get the minimum amount of time needed to retain currency. Supervisors are not proficient in the tower. I do not have a solution to this problem; but something obviously needs to happen.
CRP TRACON Controller reported an opposite direction landing and takeoff occurred at CRP airport with less than the required miles of separation according to the local directives.
