Have you noticed our newest SLIDING IMAGE BANNER "sliding by" on our public-facing website? If not, take a look at www.policechief.org. After launching our Job Board almost two years ago, it's been put to great use. Not only has it facilitated new hires around the state, it's been an extra revenue source for the OACP. We think that makes it a win/win! We decided to draw some more attention to, and leverage it all the more. Therefore...the creation of the banner.
If you haven't noticed, the banner features our newest Executive Board member, Chief Marcia Harnden. A Shout Out to her for always being an OACP team player and always stepping up to the plate when asked to lend a hand (even when it requires posing for a picture).
Placing an advertisement with the OACP is a great way to expand the market reach of your personnel search. We offer three great options for your advertisement:

I have 5 grandchildren and enjoy spending time with them. My husband and I have been married for 41 years this July 10th - Mark, worked in law enforcement for 20 years and retired from the Mesa Police Department in Arizona.
