 Over the years, the Alumni has taken part in, as well as initiated on their own,

 several programs which have had a positive impact on the community.

 Some projects the Alumni has taken part in are:

            - Raised money for the purchase of the first Automatic External Defibrillator

              (AED) to be used in a police cruiser.

            -Started the Rescue Ringers Program, which collects used cellular phones to

              be issued to victims of domestic violence who do not have access to a telephone.

              A portion of the telephones are sold to a private vendor and those funds

              are used for funding domestic violence education.

            -Every holiday season, the Alumni “adopts” a family that may need

              assistance during the the holiday season.

            -Assisted the Randolph Police with several programs such as Safety Day,

              Law Day, fingerprinting of children for personal identification kits, assisted in

              conducting a traffic pattern study as well as many other projects.

The Randolph Citizens Police Academy Alumni is an invaluable tool for your

Police Department and your community. The work done by the Alumni

helps the Police Department by encouraging a stronger relationship and better

communication between the police department and the community we serve,

by providing services which aid both the community and the Police Department,

as well as giving a feeling of support and appreciation to the officers of the

Department. Thanks to the partnership between the Police Department

and the Alumni, the goals of both organizations will be reached with

greater efficiency and effect for the community as a whole.
