PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Where does the time go? I can’t believe its June already and I am over half way with my term as President. We have been busy trying to get the word out that the OPOA has many benefits to be offered to our members. There are many reasons why officers should become a member of the OPOA. The best reason to be a member is to take advantage of the discounts you get to attend training. The OPOA has always been a training organization and our number one commitment is TRAINING! With agency budgets dwindling down to bare minimums we are looking at ways to assist agencies with quality training so every officer is able to maintain their certification and gain more knowledge for their job. Training is an important part of an officer’s career. If an officer is not trying to find ways to receive additional training each and every year then they’re not preparing themselves to be an effective officer. You owe it not only to yourself but to your fellow officers, your family, and the community. Our goal is to provide at least two quality training classes per month. Keep an eye on our calendar for new updates.

This year’s Annual OPOA Conference is focused on Surviving your career. Our 2nd Vice President Dave White has done an excellent job of gathering some very talented instructors to present at this year’s conference. Please take a minute and check out the flyer attached on our Web Page.

Take care,

Scott Dye
OPOA President
