Serving the City of Kearney/Buffalo County, we are a non-profit organization of Citizen Academy Graduates whose purpose is to provide support to the Citizen's Police Academy; enhance positive connections with law enforcement, offer continued education, community outreach, and support/assist local law enforcement whenever requested. We also support and help raise funds for the local D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program.
This Alumni Association consists of graduates of the City of Kearney and Buffalo County's Citizen's Police Academy. Our Citizen's Police Academy is over 20 years old and is currently a 8-week tuition free program designed to acquaint citizens with the activities of our local police and sheriff's department.
Graduates of our local Citizen's Police Academy and honorary members are eligible to join the Alumni Association. In addition to supporting the Kearney Police Academy, the Alumni Association is committed to being involved in supporting local law enforcement's outreach to the community.
"Attending the Citizens Academy gave me an educational look at how our local law enforcement and other service agencies serve our community. The experience was valuable in gaining a better understanding and greater appreciation for their work, which led me to serve on the Alumni Board to help further their efforts." - Jennifer B.
