Welcome New Astoria Police Chief!

Chief Stacy Kelly will become Astoria's next police chief beginning July 1. Chief Kelly has over 20 years of law enforcement experience including serving as the assistant police chief for the Newport News PD in Virginia. He has spent the past five years working at Axon Enterprise traveling to law enforcement agencies across the country in the implementation and training of TASERs and body camera systems. Please reach out and welcome him to Oregon and invite him to become an OACP Member!

One of the best parts of our job here at the OACP is to shine a bright light on all the good work that Oregon law enforcement is involved in. We use Facebook as a tool to do that, knowing that our audience is a good representation of community members around the state .
We’re happy to say we hit a milestone last week by reaching 1.1k people in just 7 days. We think that is something to shout about. If your agency is involved in a community event, please send our way. Although we search fb for these uplifting stories, we hate the thought of having one fall through the cracks.
