CITY AGENCY CONTRACTS & POLICY/PROCEDURE MANUALS
One of the valuable benefits of OACP membership is the ability to view and reference other agencies’ contracts and policy/procedure manuals through the Members Only section of the website. This shared resource library serves as a vital tool for departments across the state—offering examples, ideas, and guidance to agencies looking to revise or improve their own frameworks.
**** To ensure this resource remains as useful and current as possible, we’re asking all Chiefs to please send your agency’s most recent labor contract and policy/procedure manual to [email protected] ****

We’ve seen so many agencies gearing up and promoting their events on Facebook — it’s inspiring to see all the creative ways you’re connecting with your communities.
As you head into the festivities, don’t forget to snap some photos and share highlights, like National Night Out events (scheduled for Tuesday, Aug 5) on social media. We’d love to help amplify your efforts by sharing your posts as well!
This is a great opportunity to showcase the positive relationships being built between law enforcement and the public — so let your agency’s spirit shine!

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.

Topic: “Heart Disease: #1 Killer of Active and Retired Cops”
Presented by: Dr. Ben Stone - Recorded from the 2022 Annual Conference
|
Course Description: Heart disease is the leading cause of death among active and retired law enforcement officers and firefighters, with their average life expectancy more than 22 years shorter than the general population. Officers are at much higher risk of heart attacks—56% compared to 1.6% in civilians between ages 55–60. Join Dr. Stone as he presents a new early detection model designed specifically for public safety professionals to help combat these alarming trends.

What fellow members said about this presentation:
- "I had participated in Sigma's testing on Monday and was looking at my results as Dr. Stone was talking. It helped my understand my results better."
- "Dr. Stone's presentation was very good, informative and is something all of us need to hear. I would imagine it was a wake up call for several people and I can say it almost caused me some anxiety listening to the information he was giving everyone."
