General Information

The Arlington Citizen Police Academy was established in 1987 by Police Chief, David Kunkle. It was the third such organization in the United States, and the second in Texas. Its purpose is to promote better understanding and communication between the police department and the citizens of Arlington. By the second graduation class of the CPA, there was a growing desire by the graduates to continue learning, supporting and communicating with the police depaartment; thus, the Alumni was formed. Today the Alumni is a very viable, supporting organization.
