Dear Valued Members,
I hope all members are doing well. I am excited to pass on the long anticipated information regarding our 2025 Fall Seminar.
On October 1st, 2025 Jason Jones, current Captain at the Westminster Police Department and former Acting Commander of the Portland Police Bureau, will be providing a seminar based on his findings from his studies regarding Citizen Police Academies. The seminar will focus on the pitfalls of citizens academies and how to fix them. This seminar will be part one of a two part series that we are sure you will enjoy.
Part One of this seminar will be free and open to the public. We are asking for all attendees to register in order to view the seminar.
Part Two of this seminar will be for NCPAA members only. Part Two will take place on a date to be determined in the beginning of 2026.
Please encourage the members of your citizens academies to attend as well as any neighboring agencies around you. Sharing ideas is one of the best ways for your citizen academies to succeed. Take care and I look forward to seeing you October 1st.
Sincerely,
Jamie Alvis
NCPAA President

Dear Valued Members,
The NCPAA wants to thank you for your membership and support of our events. Unfortunately, with the current climate of budget restrictions from departments across the United States, it has been determined by the NCPAA to cancel the scheduled 2025 NCPAA Conference being held in Orlando, FL. This decision was not made lightly. It is the conviction of the NCPAA to provide the best possible conference for our valued members. The NCPAA Board of Directors will be working towards possible events this year for our membership.
It is the mission of this organization to promote the professional development of information, instruction, guidance and assistance to Public Safety Agencies and citizens involved or interested in the Citizens Police Academy concept. The NCPAA Board of Directors is dedicated to this pursuit.
The NCPAA thanks you again for your continued support and we look forward to partnering with you in the future.
Sincerely,
James Alvis
President
National Citizens Police Academy Association
