Through various grants, donations, advertising and sponsorship revenues and membership dues, the association has successfully provided thousands of hours of free and CLEET (Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training) certified professional training for all ranks and positions in law enforcement throughout Oklahoma. OACP also provides a visible and effective professional representation for law enforcement in regards to past and current legislation that impacts or could impact their departments and the communities they serve to protect.

    The OACP headquarters and training center provides all new Police Chief's with the required training in becoming a new law enforcement administrator. The OACP offers this class known to law enforcement as the "Police Chief Administrative & Command Staff Training Class." This is a forty-hour mandated class by state statute that requires all new Police Chief's to attend within one year of appointment or by election to their law enforcement administrative position. This law that was enacted by the state of Oklahoma in 2006, which is to ensure the citizens of Oklahoma that their new Chief of Police is fully trained and qualified to lead and serve the police department in their cities and towns.

    Regardless of any departments membership status, OACP has provided many agencies in need of equipment and uniforms that they could not otherwise obtain due to the limited budgets they receive in operating their departments. Through generous equipment donations from neighboring police departments and supportive business organizations and services, OACP has been able to provide computers, bullet proof vest, uniforms, used vehicles, additional safety equipment for their vehicles and much more.
