1. What is a piece of advice you wish you could have told your younger self?
There is plenty of time to become a police officer! Find a way to go away to college, and experience things away from home. You don’t have to eat, sleep and breathe law enforcement to have that career a little later in life. Grow up some and mature. You will be able to make better decisions about life and your career with a little more life experience!
2. Is there a particular person, movie, book, or experience that has influenced you?
I have been influenced by many people over the course of my life. Like most people, my parents are the most influential for sure. Both my mother and my father can be credited with giving me the things I needed to succeed in life like the ability to communicate, listen, cook, and work. After their separation and divorce, I was probably influenced the most by a deputy from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department. This deputy taught me a lot! He also taught me how to have fun - doing things I liked to do. He showed me that it’s ok to prioritize what you like and to not always worry about everyone else. He also taught me about ethics and telling the truth; reminding me that as long as you keep your word, tell the truth, and do the right thing, there aren't many bad things that can happen to you, especially if you are doing your best in all you do.

3. If given a free afternoon (or evening) how would you spend it?
I like to spend time taking care of things that I can’t otherwise take care of. Also, I enjoy spending time on the road, just taking a drive in (or on) one of my “toys”. Out on the road I feel connected to greater things and can think clearly. Making the occasional stop to visit with someone new or taking pictures have also been enjoyable activities on those rare free days.
4. What was an activity you enjoyed when you were 10-ish?
When I was 10, one of the things that I loved to do was to go prospecting with my grandfather. My grandfather was an amazing man, of few words. He and I would go camping in his 1965 Ford pick-up truck, with a home-made canopy. He would have me digging sand/rocks/and dirt, and then pouring it into a sluice box. Once the black sand was left, he would use a gold pan to find that ever precious metal. I will say it was fun finding chunks of gold, the best part of that whole experience was the huckleberry pancakes and bacon in the morning. Only a few experiences since have come close to the joy those times brought me when I was 10.
5. Tell your fellow association members something they might not know about you.
I am an open book, what you see is what you get. Two things that I really like to do now, when I am not at work is to volunteer for the St. Paul Fire Department. I am currently a Captain and an EMT. I take a week off every year to work the St. Paul Rodeo and am a Rodeo Medic. The second thing has been to feed my love of “LOUD” music by being a DJ. I have DJ ’d about150 weddings in the last 23 years, playing at events and parties all over the state.

Presentation Overview:
As our country continues to recover from the George Floyd incident and the national fallout it triggered, the law enforcement profession faces stiffer headwinds than it has in a generation. In today’s America, this profession must police a public that is increasingly distracted by political and social justice influences, it must counter the sensationalized and incomplete narratives of an agenda driven media, and it must reckon with a criminal justice “reform” regime that often acts at cross-purposes with traditional public safety. In an era when recruiting and retention are transcendent challenges, and when so many are stepping down or stepping out, legions of stalwart law enforcement leaders are stepping up. And the question they should be asking: How are law enforcement leaders supposed to operate in today’s turbocharged social environment?

OACP President Chief Daniel drove in from Mt. Angel to participate.

Hubbard's Chief Don Parise clearly filled with joy and excitement, knowing he's a small part of making a big impact.

As students throughout Marion County get ready to head back to school, the annual Shop-With-A-Cop event was held in South Salem. The benefits to programs like these are two-fold: children gain a positive experience with law enforcement and local officers get to bond with these children - helping to give them a different perspective on the role of police in the community. The OACP applauds each LE officer that took personal time to partner in this event ensuring each kiddo left with a smile.

Training Refresher
Each week this summer we'll be looking back at past training and feature a presentation that can be accessed on our training platform. Consider viewing one of the highlighted videos (or having someone at your agency do so) for additional training credit.
“Navigating Change Amid Life, Leadership & Loss "
Presented by: Chief Bob Day, Portland Police Bureau
We all recognize change is constant. As leaders we are tasked with managing our own comfort with change as well as those we are surrounded by. By demonstrating behaviors such as humility, curiosity, empathy and hope we can provide pathways for ourselves and others during times of change.
This 3-hour presentation can be found in the "F6|2024 Annual Conference" package on the Training Center.
