Serving Gurnee, strengthening community

The Gurnee Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (GurneeCPAAA) is a dedicated group of volunteers committed to supporting law enforcement and fostering strong community ties in Gurnee, Illinois. We believe in building trust and promoting a positive image of our local police department.

Our mission: community and support

We are a non-profit volunteer organization run by graduates of the Gurnee Police Department's Citizen Police Academy.  We are a liason between the community and the Gurnee Police Department supporting sponsored events and providing continuing education to alumni members.  

Volunteering for a safer Gurnee

Our members actively volunteer for the Gurnee Police Department, contributing their time and efforts to various village events upon request. These activities benefit both the department by providing essential support and the community by enhancing police-resident relations and ensuring a visible, positive law enforcement presence.

Dedication and Purpose

What makes GurneeCPAAA special? With many active members, each having completed the Police Department's Citizen Police Academy, we bring a unique understanding and dedication to our volunteer work. This shared experience unites us in our goal to offer impactful support to the Police Department and the Gurnee community.

All members are graduates of the Gurnee Citizen Police Academy which is held twice a year by the police department.  Upcoming class registrations are announced twice a year and fill up fast.  

"The GurneeCPAAA truly embodies community spirit, fostering invaluable trust and understanding between residents and our dedicated police force. Their commitment makes Gurnee a better place."
