Hello Everyone,
We are in the midst of the fall season and we have all adjusted for
students returning back to school and for the upcoming fall holidays. It
was great to see all of the photos of National Coffee with a Cop on OACP's
Facebook page.
The International Association Chiefs of Police Conference in Chicago is
October 26 - 29. Congratulations to Chief Ken Rueben from Philomath for
receiving the OACP Scholarship to IACP. Chiefs and staff, who are attending
IACP, please be on the lookout for topics and stand-out speakers that we
could bring back to Oregon for one of our conferences. Thank you once again
to LeadsOnline for being the sponsor of our Oregon Night Dinner. To continue reading, click

Nick Koumalatsos was a key-note
speaker at OACP's Fall conference. Kevin Campbell, OACP's Executive
Director, was able to grab some time with him and ask him a few questions
to identify key take-aways and practical applications from his
presentation. A special shout out to Curtis Henckel from DPSST who carved
out the time to record and edit this video interview.
