About Us
The first Anchorage Police Department's
Citizen Academy was started in March 2001.
There were 30
community members representing all walks of life and many diverse cultures.
The purpose of the first
Citizens' Academy was to assist in the promotion of APD's Community
Policing Program. Each Wednesday
for six weeks, the members attended classes on various aspects of police work.
The members had fun,
learned about policing, and spread what they had learned throughout the
community.
The idea for an alumni citizens' academy came
about at the request of members of the Anchorage Police
Department in 2004. Chief Monegan
wanted a corps of volunteers to assist
the police department
with various duties. After several
meetings, the Anchorage Police Citizens' Alumni Academy
Association was formed in 2004.
