Message from the Executive Director – Tom Austin

This year the OPBA hosted the annual Midstates Conference on November 11th and 12th.  Groups representing law enforcement, corrections and dispatchers from Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota participated.  This annual gathering is an information sharing session for all of the states involved.  Speakers included William Johnson from NAPO who spoke about body cams and legislative updates on the Federal level of government.  Justice Andy Douglas spoke on body cams and public records in Ohio as well as the upcoming United States Supreme Court Case Frederick’s vs. California Teachers Association.  Amanda Leffler and Amanda Parker of the Brouse McDowell Law Firm spoke on liability insurance for the law enforcement field.  Steve Loomis President of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association spoke about the Michael Brelo case and the consent decree Cleveland Police will be working under.  A roundtable discussion followed the speakers’ presentations.  During the roundtable discussion a representative from each state mentioned above spoke about the issues facing their organizations.

Nominations for the 23rd Annual Top Cops are currently underway.  Please visit OPBA.com for a nomination form.
