Are you a veteran that served in an active duty status between 1941 and 1975? You may be eligible for the Honor Flight program and a no cost trip to Washington D.C.

In the 40 plus years of our existence, the OSP Retiree's Association has charged $1 per month / $12 per year for membership. How do we spend your dollar? The PDF below provides an overview of our expenses for 2019 from President Bob Booker and Treasurer Brenda Collins. The Association sponsors a number of events, (including the Retiree's Cookout and the Cleveland Police Museum's Vintage Car Program) reducing the cost of these events for our members that wish to attend. Also, Board members work for free, putting in many hours of volunteer time to reduce administrative cost. Thanks to all who have served on the board over our long history!

Retirees Colonel Tom Rice and Kathy McKinnis pose in front of SP-683 at the 2019 Retiree's Cookout.

Please take our survey! OHPRS Director Carl Roark will be emailing retirees a survey about the Flying Wheel publication, on behalf of Lt. Colonel Teaford and the Public Affairs Unit. Please take a few moments to complete the survey when you receive it.
