General Information

The Ohio Crime Prevention Association (OCPA) was founded in 1977 by a group of dedicated law enforcement officers concerned about the safety of Ohio residents. Today, as the largest state crime prevention association in the nation, OCPA is Ohio’s central clearinghouse for state and national crime prevention and community policing training and resources, and maintains a diverse membership representing law enforcement, government, business, and community partners.
