Upcoming OACP Conferences...
We hope you'll join us!

2023 Small Agency Conference

November 7 - 9
Oregon State University
 

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Please register by Tuesday, October 31.

There is no cost for this event. 


If you're a small agency chief or high-level decision maker, you're invited to attend this year's conference. By "small agency," we mean agencies of 15 sworn officers or less and serving a population of 10,000 or less. This definition is intended to be inclusive, and not exclusive, of any agency small enough to have unique challenges because of their size and/or geographic location. Perhaps your agency is a bit larger than that; if so, this conference is for you too, if for no other reason than to share what you've learned.

We're hoping small agency chiefs will appreciate the opportunity this conference provides and that they, along with chiefs from larger agencies, will attend and benefit from the information discussed. Click here for more information.

We know you work tirelessly to create safer communities and optimize your security. But what if you could get backup that didn't need to sleep?

Join this webinar to learn the myriad ways that AI can be integrated into your security operations without displacing current operatives or programs - and can actually free up your team to do more of the high level decision-making you were hired to do!
