Mission:

To bring together graduates of the Mesa Citizen Police Academy,
to enhance the relations between the community and the
Mesa Police Department, and to assist local
law enforcement agencies when possible.

 Mesa’s first Citizen Police Academy was conducted in 1991. Since then, over 1,000 people have graduated from the program. The Alumni Association was formed in 1993. In 2000, the Alumni Association filed for and was granted status as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation. MCPAAA members serve as good will ambassadors to the community for the Mesa Police Department. Both the Citizen Police Academy and the Alumni Association strive to increase public awareness and understanding of law enforcement, in an effort to help build a safer community through a partnership between informed citizens and those who protect and serve.

Members and Students Wanted!

Are you a past Mesa Citizen Police Academy grad who would like to join or return to the Alumni Association? Not a grad, but interested in attending a future citizen police academy class? Applications to both are available on the Forms page.
