About the pcpaaa |
|
The Pearland Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association’s purpose is to educate members of the community about the Police Department, to help citizens understand the situations police officers encounter and to enlist support for the department as well as our city. Members of our Association donate their time and talents to the Pearland Police Department and the City of Pearland in an effort to bridge the gap between citizens and the Police in hopes of maintaining a better understanding between law enforcement and the community. Working under the liaison guidance of the Pearland Citizens Police Academy Coordinator, the PCPAAA members have made numerous contributions over the years. The PCPAAA planted the first and only pear trees in front of the station to proudly display the city's heritage. Other donations by the PCPAAA include: shotguns for the honor guard, a large television and VCR for the training room, mirrors for the gym, portable breath tests, tasers, window tint meters, computer jump drives, cameras for patrol officers, traffic cones, 20 foot long enclosed trailer, All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), and raincoats for the officers. The volunteer hours of PCPAAA members range from assisting the firearm instructors, participating in Combined Agencies Response Team (C.A.R.T. - better known as SWAT) training as actors, helping the administrative staff with reports and mail outs, data entry, property room inventory, pawnshop ticket collating, and business alarm updates. They also conduct Handicap Parking Patrol, Citizens on Patrol, and road blocks/crowd control at special events as well as other selected activities.
