OPCF 2023 Leadership & Resiliency Training Event
Featuring Nick "The Machine" Lavery & Echelon Front's Codey Gandy
Attendees will take a deep dive into the leadership principles found in the best-selling leadership book Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALS Lead and Win written by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Nick Lavery will also talk about the methodology employed to return to operational status. It is also the methodology he uses today as he continues this unprecedented journey in service to his country. It is the battle-tested guide forged by fire-Literally. Objective Secure is the battle-tested guide to goal achievement.
The OPCF hosted a Leadership & Resiliency workshop in April 2023 featuring Codey Gandy from Echelon Front and U.S. Army Special Forces CWO 2 Nick Lavery. The purpose of this training event was to bring world class leadership training to our community for our first responders. Echelon Front’s mission is to educate, train, mentor, and inspire leaders and organizations to achieve total victory. Echelon Front offers unmatched solutions in leadership, strategy, innovation, management, team building, contingency planning, and crisis management developed and proven in the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams.

Proceeds from this event will be used to support the mission of the Oxnard Police Community Foundation
2023, 805 Hero Walk
The Oxnard Police Community Foundation hosted the 805 Hero Walk in cooperation with Carry the Load to honor fallen first responders and military members in Ventura County. On April 29th over 200 people from the community participated in a 3-mile walk that began and finished at Oxnard State Beach Park. It was amazing to have over 200 folks from public safety and from our community walking together to honor the fallen who sacrificed everything for our community.
This was a FREE community event for all fitness levels and all proceeds were used to support the operations and commemorative storyboards created to honor these fallen heroes including (7) fallen Oxnard Police Officers: Night Watchman Andrew McNaughton (1906), City Marshal William Kelley (1921), Officer Albert Gasperetti (1956), Officer Fred Clark (1971), Senior Officer John Adair (1980), Detective James O’Brien (1993), Officer James Jensen (1996), and Police K-9 “Rudy” (2002).
2022 "Santa at the Station" Event
On December 12, 2023, the Oxnard Police Community Foundation partnered with the Oxnard Police Department to host their 7th Annual "Santa at the Station" community event. This was the first time since 2019 that this wasn't a "drive-through", and it was wonderful to see so many of our friends, neighbors, and families in-person again!
Guests were treated to sweets and photo opportunities hosted by our community partners, the DRAGG Program held their annual car giveaway, our SWAT team distributed stuffed gifts from PetSmart from the bearcat, and Santa, Mrs. Claus, & the Oxnard Police Department Chiefs gathered for family photos with our community.
We'd like to thank everyone who braved the cold to celebrate the Holiday Season with us at the police station!
