The Tallahassee Citizens' Police Academy Alumni Association (TCPAAA) was organized by graduates of the Tallahassee Police Department’s Citizens' Police Academy during the Fall and Winter of 1999. Its purposes are "to promote the Citizens' Police Academy continuing education/training, to support the continued growth and development of the Citizens' Police Academy, and to participate in activities that contribute to the well-being of the community."

NEWS: TCPAAA Training Night (Dignitary Protection) on date TBA (in March), at the Tallahassee Police Department.

The training topic will be Dignitary Protection, and the Lead Instructor will be Officer Mike Trowbridge. He is a current member of the TAC Entry Team and a Field Training Officer. He is also an excellent instructor! We will spend a little bit of time in the classroom and then be outside in the TPD Parking Garage for scenarios. So depending on the weather – you may want a jacket. If you're eligible for membership but have not yet joined, you can bring your application and payment to the class and join then.

Details about TCPAAA’s Annual Police Ball

Each summer, the Tallahassee Citizens’ Police Academy Alumni Association (TCPAAA) hosts its annual Police Ball.  The Police Ball is the major fundraiser of the TCPAAA, with the proceeds used exclusively to benefit Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) programs and activities of community and neighborhood outreach.

.

A special highlight of each Police Ball is the announcement of the winner of that year’s Walter A. McNeil Distinguished Service Award.   This special honor recognizes a TPD officer who has demonstrated extraordinary service and made a significant contribution to our community.

Other Events and Activities

In addition to the annual Police Ball, TCPAAA members also have exclusive access to advanced training sessions offered by the Tallahassee Police Department.   Check this webpage regularly for upcoming training sessions and other events.
