The Karlyn Campbell award was named in her honor. She was the first to receive the award after serving association members for over 20 years.
|
It is with heavy hearts that the Campbell family announces the passing of Karlyn (83). Surrounded by family, Karlyn left us early this morning after a sudden medical event that though it allowed family to gather and say goodbye, it went all too swiftly.
Karlyn touched the lives of so many and will be dearly missed by her husband of 63 years, Larry, her four sons, their wives, her seven grandchildren, and her two (soon to be three) great-grandchildren.
She served the members of the OACP with distinction over 20 years, and an amazing supporter of the arts, a proud former Miss Oregon, a dedicated member of Central Lutheran Church in Eugene, an active member of the Eugene Country Club, an avid Mahjong player, a steadfast support of the Peace Health Foundation, a true fan of the University of Oregon Women in Flight and the true heart of the Campbell Family.
Words are not adequate to express all that she means to us, and the magnitude of the loss from her passing. We find comfort in the cherished memories and the love she shared with all of us. Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated as we navigate this difficult time.

Karlyn joined the association in 1995 and was a devoted supporter of the OACP and law enforcement for decades, maintaining her commitment even after retirement. She was always actively engaging with members and sponsors at conferences, never too far from Larry or Kevin.

The Executive Leadership Training Seminar concluded last Friday, achieving the highest registration numbers in the conference's history. With participation from agencies statewide, the OACP is proud to continue offering these impactful and essential training opportunities to Oregon's law enforcement leaders.
A special thank you to Jason Armstrong who was called upon to speak at the very last minute - his willingness to travel & speak on such short notice was extraordinary. His exhaustive travel schedule did not impact his presentation which was very well received.

Each year at our ELTS conference, the OACP takes time to honor the individuals appointed as chiefs of police in agencies throughout the state. This event provides a unique opportunity for camaraderie and connection among recently promoted law enforcement leaders while also serving as an introduction to the association.
This year’s dinner, held at McMenamins in Gearhart, was graciously sponsored by Chief Jim Ferraris (Ret.)
(A heartfelt thank you to Jim for his ongoing dedication to the OACP and for helping make events like this a success.)
Learn more about our new chiefs below!

Chief Don Parise - Hubbard Donald
Wanting to join law enforcement since he was 5, there are few other things Chief Parise wanted to do. . . however, don't be surprised if in retirement you hear him saying "My Pleasure" while serving you at Chick-fil-A! Need extra sauce? Ask the Chief.
|
Chief Tim West - Gervais
Like many who follow the path of Law Enforcement, Chief West always wanted to be a police officer. If not serving in this capacity, Tim would've chosen another form of service to his community in the field of Psychiatry.
|
Chief Ryan Burdick - Milwaukie
Serving in the Army and receiving an accounting degree from Western didn't provide Chief Burdick the same type of professional fulfillment as the time he took a ride along and was hooked. If not law enforcement Ryan would be a golf coach.
|
Chief Rob Schulz - Cannon Beach
Joining the Fire Department as a volunteer/EMT, Chief Schulz intended to join the Medical profession. Service in LE quickly moved to the forefront and is where Rob has remained for more than 25 years.
|
Chief Todd Engstrom - Silverton
Watching his father before him, Chief Engstrom chose LE from a young age, as did many of his sibling who are currently serving agencies in Oregon. Grandpa Engstrom was a B25 pilot in WW2 - following that path would've been Todd's second career choice.
|
Chief Russell Spino - CRIT
Growing up, Chief Spino didn't want to be a police officer. After working in fast food for some time, a tap on the shoulder and an invite to apply changed his perspective on policing and the impact he can have in his community.
|
Chief Jamey McDonald - Tigard
Chief McDonald wanted to be a cowboy - maybe a professional baseball player- soccer perhaps? Timber sports also called and Jamey was on ESPN twice - The only path that remained consistent came after he joined TPD- rising from patrol to Chief.
|
Chief Nick Troxel - Tillamook
At age 3 his mom said he'd be a police officer - little has swayed Chief Troxel from this path - as his passion for small town community and policing has grown. In retirement, you'll find Nick down on 11th St. at Napa Auto Parts stocking shelves.
|
Chief Patrick Huskey - Sandy
Wanting to be a cop since he was young - then momentarily distracted by the logging industry, Chief Huskey quickly found his way back to policing. In his off time, Pat and his wife volunteer as USA swimming officials.
