The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) will celebrate 60 years of serving Ontario’s senior police leaders and our communities at its 2011 Annual Conference and Global Showcase at Deerhurst.
In 1951, the OACP was established as the voice of Ontario’s police leaders. In the decades since Chief Clarence Bagnall served as the OACP’s first President, the OACP has continued to advocate on behalf of its members and their communities on important public policy issues, provide its members with educational conferences and seminars, and serve as a conduit for police leaders to share ideas and solutions to the challenges facing policing.
During the past 60 years, our association has grown to properly and professionally address the needs of our members. We are much more robust to meet the information and service needs of our membership in an ever changing world. The OACP has also forged new and stronger partnerships with government and other policing stakeholders based on our belief that working together, we can accomplish more on behalf of our members and all Ontarians.
Our 2011 Annual Conference and Global Showcase’s theme – Together We Are Strong – reflects this cooperative philosophy and is most appropriate as we look to gather at Deerhurst to celebrate six decades of success and service.
To all the police leaders who have served through and along with the OACP, we honour your legacy. To all the police leaders who make the OACP today’s voice of Ontario’s police leader, we thank you for your professionalism, your passion and your dedication.
Sincerely,
Ron G. Bain
Executive Director
