This week we're featuring the
Car Care Voucher Program:
|
OACP has been proud to partner with OSP and OSSA on the Car Care program introduced in 2019. The purpose of this program is to assist motorists who are stopped for minor motor vehicle equipment violations. The vouchers provide a discount at participating auto parts stores and retailers. Assistance with fixing the broken or malfunctioning equipment may also be provided by employees at the participating stores.
The “Oregon’s Car Care Program” exemplifies the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police commitment to showing compassion and empathy for those we serve, while keeping our communities safe. We must strive to continually improve our service delivery to the public and pursue innovative approaches to gain voluntary compliance.
Salem PD is the latest agency to launch the Car Care Voucher Program. Read their Press Release here.
