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 last week that explained the changes in more detail. Click here to review.
Included in that message was a brief video from President Skinner, and Kevin & Marie Campbell that gives additional context and information. Click here to view.
We will be sending a message to Oregon chiefs (who will now be considered the Key Contact for the Agency Organization) explaining how this change will impact them specifically.
