Hello Fellow OPOA Members, As the president of the Oregon Peace Officers Association (OPOA), I get to interact with our members from all disciplines within law enforcement: police, corrections, dispatch, parole and probation, property and evidence and so many others. One thing that I find so amazing about all these groups is how they are all unified in the service of their communities and to each other. A largely diverse group of individuals from all walks of life, they are committed to working together to keep all of us safe. OPOA recognizes that these professionals need ongoing and engaging education to be at their best. OPOA exists to serve and support our law enforcement community and its members through our sponsored training and events. This year is no exception! OPOA is hosting one of our most exciting conferences this November, 2024. We will be hosting nationally recognized speakers as well as some of our local colleagues. I look forward to seeing you this year at our conference! Detective Darren Pomeroy, Forest Grove Police Department Oregon Peace Officers Association President
