Meet one of OACP's Presenters:
Randall Blazak
Coalition Against Hate Crimes

Join us September 24-25, 2024
Presentation Overview:
The July 13th assassination attempt on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has highlighted the reality of political violence in America. Before that, the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol created a new awareness of the threat of violent extremism. Oregon has a unique history with political extremism that includes the dominance of the Ku Klux Klan in Oregon a hundred years ago and the fact that several of those convicted in the January 6 attack are from the region. This training explores the current threat level with regard to extremist groups in the Pacific Northwest, including militias, white nationalists, anarchists, active clubs, and fighting groups, like the Proud Boys, as well as those who operate as “lone wolves.” The discussion will focus on the ideologies and agendas of extremist groups across the political spectrum, where and how they operate, and how to best interrupt violent and bias motivated activities. Part of this training will highlight flash-points for heightened activism, with close attention played to potential escalation related to the election in November.

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.
Building Culture and Teamwork in a New Era of Engagement
Presented by: Barry Moline
Mr. Moline has worked to bring people together in the workplace for more than four decades. He refers to it as “Teamwork Development.” Barry understands the significance of synergy and diplomacy, and what can go wrong without them. Sharing individual stories has tremendous value as a means of connecting with others. He has done so by teaching his staff and colleagues how to relate to one another. With extensive depth and breadth of experience in the media, Barry is in a unique situation to provide insight and comments on themes ranging from inter-office politics to actual politics – and everything in between.
This 3-hour presentation can be found in the "F6|2024 Annual Conference" package on the Training Center.
