The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training invites you to join them for a special dedication ceremony honoring the life and legacy of Jason Myers.
Jason’s impact on public safety in Marion County and throughout Oregon cannot be overstated. He spent 28 years with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, including ten years leading the agency, and served from 2016-19 as the chair of the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training and the Corrections Policy Committee. After retiring in 2019, he served as the executive director of the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association.

In recognition of his lasting impact on DPSST and the public safety community throughout the state, they will dedicate a commemorative bench in the courtyard of the Oregon Public Safety Academy campus in his memory.
Please join them on Monday, March 17, at the Oregon Public Safety Academy, at 4190 Aumsville Highway SE. The dedication will take place at 10:00am and will be followed with refreshments in the lobby.

OACP Annual Conference
April 22-25, 2025 - Pendleton Convention Center
Registration Costs: $340 for OACP Members - $360 for non-Members
Currently we have 80+ LE leaders registered for the conference, and more than 60 companies joining us for the Trade Show; many of which are joining us for the first time!

The OACP takes time during each annual conference to recognize agencies across the state that have earned their accreditation—this year will be no different. However, this week, we are taking a moment to celebrate as Tillamook Police Department achieves this significant accomplishment.
This achievement serves as an inspiration to other small agencies considering accreditation. With a newly approved grant available to cover accreditation costs, now is the perfect opportunity for agencies to take this important step toward enhancing professionalism and public trust. We encourage agencies statewide to explore this valuable opportunity and join the ranks of accredited law enforcement organizations.

The Tillamook Police Department has officially earned its initial law enforcement agency accreditation from the Northwest Accreditation Alliance (NWAA). The award was presented to Chief Nick Troxel and Executive Assistant Lacey Larson by Mayor Aaron Burris and by (remotely) NWAA Executive Director Scott Hayes during a ceremony at the Tillamook City Council on Monday, March 3, 2025.
This achievement marks a significant milestone in TPD’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards in law enforcement and public safety. The accreditation process involved a rigorous evaluation of the department’s operations, policies, and practices to ensure compliance with NWAA’s professional standards. It recognizes TPD’s dedication to professionalism, accountability, and continuous improvement.
