OACP News

As a result of a recent increase in job postings, we have updated our Job Board on our OACP website - Click Here to view. A convenient form is now available to ensure we receive the most important information to assist you in your personnel search. Additionally, we have expanded our advertising options to include three choices: OACP Job Board on our website, our OACP Weekly Update newsletter, and our OACP Facebook page - all for a nominal fee. We're hoping this will be of benefit to agencies around the state and beyond, as well as bring in some additional revenue for the OACP.

We're loving all the positive and supportive comments from communities around Oregon. Here are some more quotes to encourage you:

"Their caring, compassionate, support and belief in their community and its citizens while exhibiting behavior that promotes what they want from their citizens. i.e. like-kind behavior and always willing and ready to challenge and face evil while protecting their community."

"I appreciate our police department because you guys have always been helpful, protective, fair, informative and kind to me. Thank you."

"I appreciate that everyone in your department has been courteous and helpful whenever I have dealt with them, especially when I didn't know what to do next. You guys have been up front with what's happening in the community and have our best interests in mind."
