Tips and tools for making your association experience a smooth one.

MEMBER DIRECTORY SEARCH

Looking for a Chief? Or your District Rep? Or a Retired Member? Look no further than OACP’s Member Directory Search. Here are additional things you can search for:

•    Search for members by name
•    Search for all Chief association members 
•    Find members at certain agencies or in specific board districts
•    Search Board representatives
•    Search for members on individual committees
•    Search members who serve at departments of certain city sizes 
•    and more...

You can find the Directory Search Tool by logging in to the Members Only area and scrolling over Community (upper ribbon). To view an already compiled list of member profiles, scroll over View Entire Member Directory and you'll see four drop-downs: one for each member type including Interested Retirees. These lists are in alphabetical order and list everyone in that group.

We hope you'll use this tool to get connected to fellow OACP members. See something out of place? Please let us know.

TRAINING CORNER

In the coming weeks, we'll be highlighting various videos that we think might benefit you or other agency members. Be sure to check out the "Training Corner" each week. We hope this adds tremendous value to your OACP membership.

Matt Quackenbush's presentation video entitled "Making Sense of Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress" has been added to our growing video library on the OACP Training Center. You'll find it inside the "2023 Annual Conference" package as well as in the "F6 | Mental Health/CIT" package. To navigate to the Training Center, log in to the Members' Only area and choose Training in the upper ribbon.
