2024 OCPA Annual Awards

"Crime Prevention is Everyone's Business."  This is more than a tag line, it is the responsibility of all levels of government and communities.  It is linked to solving social problems and quality of life issues, and is far more than security.  Crime Prevention requires a central position in not just law enforcement, but the community as a whole.  It is cost-effective and may be tailored to fit the local needs and conditions.  Ultimately, crime prevention improves the quality of life for residents and empowers them to build a better future in their communities.

The Ohio Crime Prevention Association's Annual Awards Luncheon recognize and honors crime prevention practitioners and programs for their exceptional efforts toward preventing crime, while educating and involving their communities.

The 2024 Annual Awards will be presented to award recipients during the awards luncheon at the OCPA Annual Training Conference on Tuesday, April 23rd 2024.
