DCPAAA IN THEIR COMMUNITY!The month of October has been a great month for our Dickinson Citizens Police AcademyAlumni Association members to get out and meet other citizens in our community. During the“Meet Your Neighbor Program” and “National Night Out” the DCPAAA along with the DickinsonPolice Department met hundreds of citizens in our community. A big “HATS OFF” to ourDCPAAA members and other residents in the Tropical Gardens Subdivision who bandedtogether to make their function a huge success! Also a “TWO THUMBS UP” to the DCPAAAmembers in Bentwood, Colonial Estate and Sherwood Forest Subdivisions for their support inthese programs. Anytime of the night or day you see a member from our DCPAAA organizationyou know who they are. They are always wearing their DCPAAA shirts, badges and PD pins ofthe Dickinson Police Department they represent! It is our DCPAAA’s involvement in programslike these that take us the extra yards to reach out to all parts of our community. Volunteerskeep up the great work you always do!
