The Battle Creek Citizens Academy Alumni Association is made up of citizens who have completed the Academy and are interested in being a link between the Police Department and the community. The active members can:
Help promote relations between citizens and the Police Department
Work with the Citizens Traffic Watch Car enforcing handicapped parking
Help with making sure that street lights are working
Monitor speeds in neighborhoods
Help with making sure that neighborhood streets are appropriately marked with speed limits signs
Attend neighborhood association meetings to bring concerns back to the Police Department
Battle Creek Citizens Academy Alumni Association have also helped with different activities such as:
National Night Out
The yearly Triathlon
Different bike events to help with traffic concerns
Alumni members have worked at MIS Speedway twice a year driving the 6 seat golf carts for disabled people, transporting them to and from the parking lots to the grandstands. This was a major fundraiser to keep the academy going and to develop the funds needed for projects.
