2023 Annual Conference:
April 4 - 7
The 2023 Annual Conference will be here before you know it so now is a good time to plan ahead for lodging. Even though conference registration won't begin until next week, please reserve your room now. You can always cancel the reservation later if you realize you aren't able to attend the conference.
Rooms are available for $120 (per diem rate plus tax/fees) in OACP's room block through March 6. After that they are released to the public. Click here to reserve a room. Please note that though the reservation link indicates dates from Tuesday through Friday, you can easily choose Mon. night as well (if participating in committee meetings requires you to be there bright and early Tues morn!). Or, if you prefer, call 1-866-453-4480.

Attention:
Women in Law Enforcement!
Last year at the Annual Conference, Chief Darla Huxel suggested a gathering of female law enforcement leaders during one of the lunches. This luncheon provided a great opportunity to network, build relationships, and have a round table discussion with fellow women in law enforcement. Since this luncheon was well-received, we've decided to plan it again this year.
Taking the lead this year are OACP members Chief Marcia Harnden (Albany PD) and Major Teresa Bloom (OSP). If you have input on this event or would like to help in any way, please reach out to them.
There will be an opportunity to indicate your interest in participating in this event on the conference registration form. We hope you'll join us!
