The OACP welcomes Chief Steven Lougal, Scappoose PD. Chief Lougal comes to Oregon from Bridgeport, Connecticut where he spent his entire 25-year law enforcement career. His initial focus at the department will be hiring more officers and keeping them attracted and engaged through opportunities like a K-9, motorcycles, school resource officers, and detective units. Chief Lougal wishes to build relationships in the community by hosting Coffee with the Chief events as well as getting to know the leaders of neighboring law enforcement agencies. Chief Lougal is not currently an OACP member, so take a moment to reach out and welcome him to the neighborhood and encourage him to join the association!
