Our goal as the LCPAAA is to be a proactive organization which focuses on creating a better understanding and cooperation between local law enforcement and the community. Our overall primary responsibility is our involvement with LPD sponsored events.

Our motto: "Effective Crime Control is a Team Effort."


We believe that crime prevention is a focal point of our LCPAAA. We work with the LPD Crime Prevention unit to make our presence known to the community. We also attend various law enforcement sponsored events and workshops.

We conduct fundraising events on behalf of the LPD. Our most recent fundraising program raised $12,000 for the LPD K9 unit. These funds will be used to replace police dogs who will be retiring.

We publish a monthly newsletter with information about events that have occurred during the month and also upcoming events. We highlight an LPD officer and one of our own members in each monthly issue.

We act as host for the LPD Citizen Police Academy classes.

We meet once a month and receive valuable information from various guest speakers.

Crime Prevention Training: The LPD is offering a program in Basic Crime Prevention which will encompass 24 hours of classroom training. It will likely involve two (2) three (3) hour sessions each week for 4 weeks. The schedule is not been established yet, however, it will not start until after the Open House on March 15. The sessions will probably be in the evenings so that those members with day jobs will be able to attend. After completion of this program, members will be issued a Basic Crime Prevention certificate by the LPD. Those members completing the course will then be able to participate in more CPU activities. Those interested should contact Charlie Burdette or Dave Munson.
