Membership Dues Renewal
You should have now received your Renewal Message and Renewal Form in your inbox. Please note: the renewal form/invoice will only be sent to Member Agency key contacts (aka. chiefs or agency leaders), and "Other Associates." All Active (non-chiefs) and Associate members will have their membership dues paid for by the head of the Member Agency. All OACP members associated with that agency will be listed on the invoice and their dues will be paid with one transaction. In the past, each member received their own invoice. If you have questions about this, reach out to us at the OACP office.

Membership Application Period Now Open
Recent changes in the OACP Bylaws required some creative and challenging editing to our membership application form. After many hours and even more drafts and test submissions, our new revised membership application form is now ready to roll! If you have staff members that you would like to become OACP members (to be reviewed at our January Board Meeting), we are now ready to receive applications. Click here for membership information and the application form.
