The Alumni Association is an independent association of graduates of the Citizens?’ Police Academy Program administered by the New York City Police Department. The Citizens Police Academy program was developed by Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. We appreciate his insights and passion for working together with the community and educating the community. The powerful partnership between the NYPD and our membership results in citizens working with police officers and provides for lasting success. The Academy program empowers citizens by educating us. The NYPD then provides a means for us to work together with members of the NYPD to contribute to our communities and also to improve communications between the police and the communities that they serve. We are privileged to work with the best police department in the country.
