Welcome to the New opoa.info!

Thank you for visiting the new Oregon Peace Officers Association website! We have been hard at work creating a new site that is easy to navigate, informative, and useful to the Oregon law enforcement community which we serve.

We have done our best to fix issues that have been frustrations for our members:

We have added a new way to pay for and register for classes. Now, multiple training registrations can be completed with one payment transaction, along with any other combination of membership dues, merchandise, and donations.
We have streamlined our upcoming trainings section, please bookmark it! http://new.opoa.info/upcoming-trainings. Please check back often to hear about the exciting trainings being presented by OPOA.
We have created a membership status tool that will allow members to look up their membership status.
We have created a library section that will allow users to browse through articles that have been featured in our newsletters, as well as stories of the heroic actions of Oregon law enforcement officers whom have been presented awards by OPOA.

Under Construction

As the new site is coming online, please bear with the dust from new construction. There will be things that slide around and change, thank you for your patience!

Of course, we welcome any feedback you have, please let us know what you think!

Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of our organization!
