Those students who have graduated from the Humble Citizens Police Academy will have the opportunity to join the CPA Alumni Association which meets monthly at the Police Department and assists the Police Department with many functions throughout the year.

By graduating from the Academy and/or joining the CPA Alumni Association, you will not be a licensed Peace Officer in any capacity. You will not be allowed to perform any law enforcement type actions but will still have the knowledge of being an informed citizen of this great state, county and city.
