The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) offers a number of educational courses to its police and civilian members. 

Some of the educational courses offered by the OACP:

 

Victim and Trauma Workshop

October 2-3, 2025

Where:

Liberty North
100 Caplan Ave #1,
Barrie, ON L4N 9J2

About the Victim and Trauma Workshop:

Join us for an inspiring and action-oriented two-day conference focused on transforming policing through trauma-informed practice. Grounded in the Canadian Framework for Trauma-Informed Response and its Six ‘R’ Model—Realize, Recognize, Rethink, Respond, Reduce, and Review—this event brings together bold voices from across Canada, including Dr. Jody Carrington, survivors with lived expertise, and leading researchers.

 

Together, we’ll challenge assumptions, explore innovative strategies, and reimagine how policing can better support victims, officers, and communities.
