Member Directory Search.
Here are additional things you can search for:

You can find the Directory Search Tool by logging in to the Members Only area and scrolling over Community (upper ribbon).

The OACP extends congratulations to Chief Tom Simpson on his retirement from the Dallas Police Department.
With more than 40 years of dedicated public service, Chief Simpson has left an indelible mark on the communities he has served and on the profession as a whole.

Each week this summer we'll be looking back at past training and featuring a presentation that can be accessed on our training platform. Consider viewing one of the highlighted videos (or having someone at your agency do so) for additional training credit.
|
Course Description: This presentation provides a realistic view on how actions or inactions surrounding bias, diversity and inclusion can help or hurt the profession. Challenging the Department leaders to step outside of themselves and take an introspective look into how their decisions set the culture for their Agency.
|
What fellow members said about this presentation:
- "The best DEI/bias training I have been through, hands down. This ran circles around anything my city has offered. I know Eme doesn't want to "check boxes" for cities but this is a game changer in terms of understanding different sides of the issue. My entire city government would benefit from his conversation.
- "The first five minutes of the presentation I want to walk out as I thought it was going to be another one of those shame driven presentations. However, I quickly learned how valuable this info was. Excellent "conversation" yes it was uncomfortable but meaningful, educational and impactful."
