- What is the CPAAA?
The Citizens’ Police Academy Alumni Association (CPAAA) consists of persons who have graduated from a Durham Citizens’ Police Academy and who have paid (or will pay) their dues to CPAAA for the current year. While the Durham Police Department does provide meeting space and a departmental liaison to the CPAAA, the DPD and the city of Durham do not provide monetary support to the organization. Monies collected from membership dues and raised through special fundraising projects help fund the CPAAA and its activities. (FAQ list) - What does the CPAAA do?
The CPAAA supports the Durham Police Department in ways appropriate for citizen volunteers. This may include being part of the Citizens’ Police Academy experience for new students, assisting the DPD with community outreach events, and a wide variety of community projects designed to enhance and uplift citizens’ perceptions about the Durham Police Department. (FAQ list) - Why should I join the CPAAA?
Joining the CPAAA is a rewarding way to extend your Citizens’ Police Academy experience. Beyond the social aspects, it’s a way of saying, “Thank you,” to the men and women risking their lives to protect and serve Durham’s citizens. It also provides opportunities for members to put their varied talents to good use. And CPAAA offers a means to volunteer and reach out to others in the community. Your efforts on behalf of the Durham Police Department provide useful and worthwhile ways to show your appreciation for the DPD’s work protecting you and enhancing your quality of life. (FAQ list) - When and where does the CPAAA meet?
CPAAA meets the first Monday of every month at 7 PM (with the exception of those Mondays that are legal holidays or may fall within an extended holiday period, including New Year’s Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day) in the Community Room of the Durham Police Department. Occasionally, special meetings or events are also held (to arrange details for a community outreach project or fundraiser, for example). (FAQ list) - How about a suggestion for the CPAAA?
Your constructive ideas are welcome and will be treated with respect. Let us know how we can help you and serve our city better. (FAQ list) - What will the CPAAA expect of me?
Dues are $10 per year, payable in January or when you join CPAAA. Attendance at meetings and participation in community outreach projects are voluntary, but your presence shows your support of CPAAA. That’s about it, unless you wish to coordinate a special project or work on a committee. (FAQ list) - Where can I find the CPAAA’s Mission Statement?
