Sunnyvale Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association
The Sunnyvale Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association is comprised of graduates from the Sunnyvale Police Department's Citizens Police Academy (CPA). Our mission is to serve as goodwill ambassadors for the Sunnyvale Police Department in the Sunnyvale community, to provide help and support to the department when requested, and to address the incidental needs of the department.
As alumni, we build on the knowledge gained from the CPA to foster stronger community-police relations, volunteer in department initiatives, and promote safety and awareness in the Town of Sunnyvale.

Background on the Citizens Police Academy (CPA)
The Sunnyvale Police Department's Citizens Police Academy (CPA) is an educational program designed to provide the public with a working knowledge of the Sunnyvale Police Department's personnel and policies. The CPA was developed with the belief that education is the key to understanding, and with understanding comes a more open line of communication.
Class members are a cross-section of the Sunnyvale community. Homemakers, professional businesspersons, students, laborers, retirees, and others are encouraged to apply for admission. The minimum age for enrollment is 18, and you must live or work in the Town of Sunnyvale to be eligible to attend.
The training program consists of 10 classes, each held once a week for three hours. It consists of classroom and "hands-on" instruction, with each session facilitated by the officers and supervisors who work in that division. Topics covered include:
Officer Selection and Training Process
Police Communications
Criminal Investigations
Domestic Violence
Patrol
Crime Prevention/Community Policing
Tactical Operations
Defensive Tactics
Firearms Training, and more
Instruction also includes facility tours and the opportunity to participate in the patrol "ride-along" program.
