The Alumni Association supporting the Schertz PD strives to increase public awareness and understanding of law enforcement, in an effort to help build a safer community through a partnership informed citizens and those who protect and serve. The Schertz Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (SCPAAA) was formed in 1992. In 2011, the SCPAAA filed for and was granted status as a 501(c)(3) non-pr
ofit corporation. SCPAAA members serve as goodwill ambassadors to the community for the Schertz Police Department. The Citizen Police Academy and the SCPAAA strive to increase public awareness and understanding of law enforcement to help build a safer community through a partnership between informed citizens and those who protect and serve. The Schertz Citizens On Patrol (C.O.P.) also actively participates in patrolling the streets and neighborhoods of Schertz. The all-volunteer Patrol adds extra eyes and ears to make Schertz a better and safer community. In addition to regular patrols, the C.O.P. and SCPAAA support the Schertz Police Department during special events such as city charity events, parades, and festivals by providing volunteers to assist with traffic direction, crowd control, and other duties. The SCPAAA is always looking for new members or students. If you are a past Schertz Citizen Police Academy graduate who wants to join or return to the Alumni Association, you are always welcome. If you're not a graduate but are interested in attending a future citizen police academy class, contact us, and we will provide you with information for the next Citizens Police Academy. We invite those who wish to help support our programs and efforts in assisting the Schertz Police Department to visit our website.
