OACP Membership Renewal
Please take a moment now to pay your dues if you have not done so yet. Memberships will move from the "graced period" they are currently in, to "lapsed period" next month if they have not been paid. At that point, messages will no longer be sent through our association platform. Sigh.

If you have not taken care of this yet, you can do so by following these easy steps:

  1. Login to Members Only area >
  2. Member's Home >
  3. Click on Profile Page 

Click on the RENEW button at top. Please note that the “Membership Duration” will say “1 period - $0.00 amount.” Please disregard this. Once you click Submit on the form (bottom right), the correct amount will be calculated. If you have any questions, email Marie at [email protected].  

Wondering if your dues have been paid? Click here for a list of all Members who still need to pay. This is not to point a finger, but rather, to help us identify individuals who have retired or moved on from an agency and will no longer be renewing their membership. If you see someone on this list who fits this category, please let us know so we can make the adjustment. This document was exported on 1/25/2022. Every day more renewals are being submitted (or checks are in transit to our office) so don't worry if you find your name on this list and yet your payment has already been submitted or sent in.

 

Those who registered for the conference will be receiving a link to the presentations we were given permission to record as soon as they are edited and ready to go. Thank you DPSST for allowing videographers Nick and Coy Alexander to use their time and expertise with this.

 

IACP 2022 will provide four days of education and networking, including an exposition hall where more than 600 vendors will be showcasing products and services to assist the law enforcement profession.

Registration is now open:

New Member Fun Facts

We asked our new members about their hobbies, favorite music genre, where they would travel if given the chance, and their favorite food. Here's what they had to say:

Chief Ty Duby said, "I enjoy traveling and recreating in the outdoors. I snow ski in the winter and boat in the summer. I enjoy all types of music, but 80's rock was my time! I love warm, tropical places. Give me sun, sand and 85 degrees and I'm at my happy place. A good steakhouse is hard to beat."

Chief Cory Dhillon enjoys hunting, fishing, and hiking. He listens to country or classical music and his favorite food is seafood.

Captain Cal Mitts' hobbies are hunting and fishing. Given the chance, he would vacation in Alaska.

 

This week we're featuring the Youth Award of Merit which is "for a citizen under the age of 18 who performs an exceptional act or demonstrates a continued pattern of actions that furthers the mission and goals of the OACP or who made a significant impact or contribution to the law enforcement profession."  This award was given to Decker Strom in 2015. Please consider nominating a worthy youth from your city for this award.

Award nominations are due March 1, 2022. Click here for more information and a nomination form.
