Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association

The Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association, (CPAAA) was organized in January 2005, after several organizational meetings in November 2004, with members of the Citizen's Police Academy (CPA).

The CPAAA was formed, to bring graduates of the CPA Classes together to generate or enhance a relationship between the community and the Paris Police Department, and to assist when citizen's input or help is needed.

Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at the Paris Police Department at 7:00 p.m. Membership is open to all members of the CPA Classes.

If you are a member of one of the CPA Classes, we encourage you to attend and be a part of this Alumni Association.
