New Membership Dues Structure
After a multi-year effort to explore ways to stabilize the budget of the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police and in recognition of the importance of the organization to law enforcement agencies throughout Oregon, the OACP Executive Committee and Board of Directors approved a new “tiered” dues structure that will take effect during our upcoming dues renewal period in January 2023.
A message was sent out on Monday that explains the changes in more detail. Click here to review.
Included in Monday's message was a brief video from President Skinner, and Kevin & Marie Campbell that gives additional context and information. Click here to view.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Please be aware that we are in the process of updating the member type categories for OACP members to align with the changes associated with the new dues structure and the Bylaws changes. Part of this process includes updating all the “permissions” in the Members Only area. Thank you for your patience as we tackle this complicated process, and if you happen to find yourself locked out of an area, please let us know. We’ll let you back in as soon as we can, and the extra set(s) of eyes will be helpful.
