The 2023 Fall Conference is underway. Here's what we've been up to...

Chief Dave Rash (Hubbard PD) and Chief Mitch Hicks (not present) is given a Presidents Award initially awarded in 2021 when COVID budget challenges prevented the OACP from having one created. Although these Presidents Awards were given by then President Jim Ferraris, OACP's current President Chief Matt Scales had the honor of presenting. The award was given for Dave and Mitch's work on pivoting from an in-person conference to an online option. The award read "Dave and Mitch helped lead the effort to provide our membership with quality and valuable training in a virtual format. Their unprecedented effort kept our membership connected, informed, strong and well-trained in the face of public event shutdowns. Their efforts forged the way for future virtual training to the benefit of our members."

Chief Don Taylor also received a Presidents Award from 2021 for the work he did on the online auction. The award read, "During the pandemic, Chief Don Taylor took on the responsibility for initiating, planning, and implementing an auction during our virtual annual conference to benefit the “Special Olympics Oregon” program. Don not only gathered an impressive number of outstanding items for the auction but also managed the virtual auction himself. Don worked tirelessly on this fundraising event. After long hours of hard work, Don’s selfless dedication to OACP netted the Special Olympics-Oregon program nearly $6,000.00
