"The professional voice of crime prevention in Ohio"

General Membership Information

 

The largest state crime prevention association in America, the Ohio Crime Prevention Association (OCPA) was founded more than twenty-five years ago by a core group of dedicated law enforcement officers concerned about the safety of Ohio residents. Today, OCPA serves as Ohio’s central clearinghouse for state and national crime prevention and community policing training and resources, and maintains a diverse membership representing law enforcement agencies, government offices, businesses, the faith community and resident groups. OCPA activities range from basic crime prevention schools to annual conferences, monthly training and timely publications.

OCPA supports the national model for crime prevention. This definition identifies that crime prevention:

  • is a pattern of attitudes and behaviors
  • directed at reducing the threat of crime
  • enhances the sense of safety and security
  • positively influences the quality of life in society
  • helps develop environments where crime cannot flourish
