Please note that this presentation has been added to the schedule. The OACP wanted to ensure that a full 16 hours of training was available and it was decided that having Portland's new FBI SAIC would be a beneficial addition.

Thoughts from conference attendees on this past Monday's Session 2 training:

"Thoroughly enjoyed both Daigle’s and Paul Taylor’s Human Error presentation. Focusing on “why” decisions were made in a critical incident investigation rather than “what” and “how” leads to a far broader understanding of the incident, and therefore broader opportunities for improvement and prevention."

Chief Deputy Al Roque
Washington County Sheriff’s Office

"Consistency, consistency, consistency. Know exactly why something is in your policy manual and ensure it consistently administered."

"The post presentation discussion on human error was extremely valuable in clarifying/reiterating key points from the Taylor's presentation. Specifically, how understanding the dynamics of human error relates to effectively and accurately reviewing incidents, as well as identifying opportunities to enhance training, policies and practices."

Captain Brian Day
Central Point PD

“The OACP and the Education & Training Committee are doing such a wonderful job with this conference! Even if it can’t be in person, you are delivering some great speakers in an easy to access format. I know how difficult it is to deliver a conference, and doing so during a pandemic is heroic!”

Melinda McLaughlin, Pr Director
