WE DID IT!!! We have concluded our 54th Annual Conference & Awards Banquet and it was phenomenal! Nationally recognized speakers along with a moving awards banquet was a great capstone for the year 2024! But OPOA has continued to move forward and we are now an official 501(c)3, a charitable non-profit tax exempt organization!! This means you can DONATE directly to OPOA as a charitable organization and receive a tax deduction. Donations can be made by our website or by sending a check (Just look for the DONATE button at the bottom of the page). With Giving Tuesday just around the corner, please consider donating to a state recognized organization that is dedicated to helping all disciplines within law enforcement. When you give to OPOA, you’re supporting law enforcement in Oregon and other charitable organizations we donate to. Here are some of things you support when you give: > Funding the law enforcement memorial fund – used to support law enforcement families in time of loss for line of duty deaths. > A state leader in recognizing and awarding law enforcement for their achievements, heroism and sacrifice. > Providing training to law enforcement across the state of Oregon at a reduced cost. > OPOA brings in local sources as well as nationally recognized speakers and experts for professional growth to address emergent trends within the industry. Join us helping our law enforcement serve you! Detective Darren Pomeroy, Forest Grove Police Department OPOA President
