CANDIDATES FOR TREASURER

Jeremy Jesenovec

I am honored to be considered for the position of OCPA Treasurer. Since joining the OCPA in 2017, I have dedicated myself to advancing the field of crime prevention, attending multiple OCPA conferences, and obtaining several valuable certifications including the OCPA CPS, CPTED, and House of Worship Security.

Attending every OCPA board meeting since September 2022 and volunteering for the 2023 OCPA Annual Conference, I have demonstrated my commitment to the organization's mission.

With 27 years of police service, as well as experience in the Marine Corps and Civil Air Patrol, I have a distinguished career in public service. My extensive background in law enforcement, emergency management, crime prevention, community policing, and security management provides a unique perspective that will serve the OCPA well.

Currently serving as a college Chief of Public Safety, I have honed my analytical and problem-solving skills, which were also developed in my previous roles as a Police Lieutenant and Security Director.

My skills, combined with my passion for crime prevention, make me an excellent fit for the OCPA Treasurer position. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to contributing to the success of the OCPA.
