The OACP appreciates how these individuals have been honored and remembered.Today was the 2022 Fallen Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony in Salem at DPSST. Prior to honoring the 3 officers was a re-dedication of the Memorial Highway sign adding Sgt. John Burright’s name. Sgt. Burright passed away in May 2021 after a 20 year battle with severe injuries from being struck by a car on I-5. The sign is located at the spot on I-5 where Oregon State Police Trooper Maria Mignano, Sgt. John Burright and Albany Police Officer Jason Hoerauf were struck while helping a disabled motorist. We were honored to be a part of the dedication. The State's memorial honors 192 fallen Oregon law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty since the 1860s. To serve and protect, we stood loyal and true until the very end. #WeRememberYou #somegaveall ... See MoreSee Less

The Oregon Association Chiefs of Police was founded in 1953 with the intended purpose of enhancing the professionalism of Law Enforcement in Oregon. The founding Chiefs envisioned creating an association that would promote training and information sharing to facilitate the professional growth of Chiefs of Police, command staff, supervisors, line officers and support personnel. The Oregon Association Chiefs of Police rapidly became a leader both on the state and national level in the effort to enhance the profession.
