OACP News

Welcome New Chiefs!
The OACP congratulates the following newly appointed chiefs and wishes them great success in their new roles.

Chief Gwen Johns took the reigns of the Stayton Police Department this November.

Today, November 30, Chief Jason Ogden is being sworn in as Sweet Home Police Department's next Chief of Police.

Chief Scott Logue will become Central Point Police Department's next Police Chief at the end of this year.

 

Congratulations to the Following Retirees!

Chief Kris Allison (Central Point PD) is set to retire on December 31, 2022 after serving as chief for the last (almost) eleven years. Chief Allison is a Life Member with the OACP and served as OACP President for the 2019-2020 year. She will be pursuing a career in the legal field after retiring from the police department. The OACP appreciates her service to the OACP and the Central Point community and wishes her great success in her future endeavors.

Chief Jeff Lynn retired from the Sweet Home Police Department on September 26, 2022. He began his law enforcement career with Sweet Home PD in 1999 and was appointed chief of police in 2013. He is continuing his law enforcement career after "retirement" as a patrol deputy with the Linn County Sheriff's Office. The OACP thanks Chief Lynn for his service as chief and wishes him good health and safety in this next role.

 

Membership Dues Renewal

We are preparing to send all agencies their OACP membership dues renewal in the next couple weeks. Be looking for it in your inbox. Please note: the renewal form/invoice will only be sent to Agency Organization key contacts (aka. chiefs or agency leaders), and "Other Associates." All active (non-chiefs) and associate members will have their dues paid for by the head of the agency. All OACP members associated with that organization will be listed on the invoice and their dues can be paid with one transaction. In the past, each member received their own invoice.  If you have questions about this, reach out, or ... simply wait until you receive the invoice and (hopefully) it will be easily understood.

 

Membership Application Period Now Open

Recent changes in the OACP Bylaws required some creative and challenging editing to our membership application form. After many hours and even more drafts and test submissions, our new revised membership application form is now ready to roll! If you have staff members that you would like to become OACP members (to be reviewed at our January Board Meeting), we are now ready to receive applications.  Click here for  membership information and the application form.
