Carrollton Citizen Police Academy

Alumni Association

   The Carrollton Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association is a not-for-profit, all

   volunteer organization of trained Carrollton Citizens who support the  Carrollton

   Police Department.  The purpose of the organization is to bring together graduates

   of the Carrollton Citizen Police Academy to enhance the relationship between the

   Alumni Association, the community and the Carrollton Police Department.

   The CCPAAA members volunteer many hours annually in service to the Carrollton

   Police Department.  Through fund-raising activities the CCPAAA provides the police

   department with equipment which is not budgeted but makes the police officer’s job

   more effective.  The CCPAAA provides food for officers during the holidays.

   The Alumni meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Carrollton

   Police Department and are open only to members.

Carrollton Citizen Patrol

   As a part of the Carrollton Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association,

   the Citizen Patrol Members are the extra eyes and ears for the Carrollton

   Police Department. The Citizens on Patrol can be seen throughout the city

   patrolling in vehicles marked and equipped for the Carrollton Citizen Patrol

   Organization.

   Our volunteers are equipped with police radios inside the vehicles, as well as

   hand held units. The volunteers also have emergency equipment such as

   safety traffic vests, flashlights with traffic wands, road flares and cones and

   GPS navigation systems.

   Volunteers are each assigned individual patrol ID numbers and badges that

   are registered with the City and with 911 Dispatch. Our volunteers go

   “in-service” with dispatch just as our police officers do, allowing our

   volunteers and 911 Dispatch to work together as the members patrol the city.

   The members can be sent to aid police officers in various activities--such as

   traffic control for accidents, missing persons’ searches and abandoned and

   illegally parked vehicles.

   The group also delivers warrants, court filings, grand jury documents and

   case evidence to Dallas, Denton and Collin Counties as needed.
