2024 OACP Annual Conference
CHANGE OF LOCATION
|
Pendleton Convention Center
April 16 - 19, 2024
After much deliberation and feedback from our members, the OACP Executive Board, along with input from the Conference, Education and Training committee, has given approval to move the 2024 Annual Conference to Pendleton Convention Center. Please know that many aspects were taken into account as we considered this change: size of venue (to accommodate attendees as well as vendors), cost, volunteer help, and available lodging options were just a few. Results from the survey were a deciding factor, as well, with over 55% indicating support of the move and 25% indicating they would be supportive either way.
We acknowledge the challenges that come with change, but we're excited about this new adventure and hope you feel the same. Please make plans now for joining us next year at this new location. More information will be coming in the months ahead. If you would like to know more about the components that were considered when making this move, as well as factors the committee will be addressing this coming year in anticipation of future conferences, click here to review the PowerPoint presentation presented to the board.

Tips and tools for making your association experience a smooth one.
Throughout the summer months we'll be spotlighting various association tips and tools we think will help our members better utilize OACP's platform. This week we're highlighting:
OACP Training Center
The OACP training center provides recorded training from our conferences and other sources to help OACP members and their agencies meet training requirements and needs. The presentations are free of charge for OACP Member Agencies, and the training hours can be submitted to DPSST for training credit.
To access training:
- Log in to the OACP Members Only Area
- Click on Training on the upper blue ribbon and you’ll be redirected to the training platform
- Click on any of the F6 training packages to see all the videos associated with that category. We have also created packages for various conferences with all the available training videos from that conference.
You can also click on Search Course List at the top of the page and enter a presenter’s name, title of a presentation, or key word. This will generate all the available courses with that criteria. You can then choose that course from the list in the F6 package.
Member Agency Key Contacts can forward a video to any person in their agency by simply copying the url and having them use the password OACPTraining.
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" in upcoming Weekly Update newsletters. We hope this adds tremendous value to your OACP membership.

Pictured above, starting with the back row: Chief Troy Mills (Sutherlin), Chief Gary Klopfenstein (Roseburg), Chief Marty Case (Cow Creek), LT. Sean Sanborn (Coos County Sheriffs Dept), Chief Jon Brewster (Myrtle Creek), Chief John Carter (Reedsport) and Chief Brandon Sarti (Winston). Unpictured: Sheriff John Hanlin
At the recent swearing in of Chief John Carter, district area chiefs (and OACP members) showed their support of Reedsport’s new chief. Although we acknowledged Chief Carter in an earlier Update, we felt this picture really conveyed the camaraderie of fellow chiefs that OACP so highly values.
