Also, you may be interested to know that we have many of our past presidents highlighted in both individual and montage videos on our website. Our desire is to feature a different set of past presidents each year at the annual conference, while capturing the history of the OACP. Click here to view them.

Update on Recent OACP Presenter
Greg Young, presenter from the 2021 Virtual Annual Conference, wanted to let us know of his recent efforts to gather donations to take his team to Ukraine to provide much needed psychological debriefing support and humanitarian aid to the many Ukraine Patrol Police, their national chaplains, as well as teams of soldiers and other officials investigating war crimes. He will also be training officers to provide peer support for themselves and bringing medical supplies and a few ballistic vests and helmets.
He asked that we spread the word and provide the campaign link in case anyone wishes to donate to the cause. Every little bit helps.

Annual Conference Videos
Five of the 7 Annual Conference training videos are complete and were sent out yesterday to those who had registered for this event. We ask that these videos not be forwarded to others for viewing. We are in the process of creating a Training Center where these (and other recorded training) will be made available for a small fee, with the revenue used for future presenters and training resources. We look forward to launching this new resource for agencies in the weeks ahead. Thank you again to Nick Alexander for the editing of these videos.
