SCENARIOS

FIELD SOBRIETY

ACPAAA members volunteer to drink alcohol and teach recruits actions of people under the influence.

SIX FLAGS

ACPAAA members are actors in the Crazy Horse saloon, retail shops and on the streets of the Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington theme park. There is a considerable amount of interacting with the recruits and sworn police officers. At the Crazy Horse saloon, ACPAAA members are rowdy bar patrons, while sworn police officers are actors causing disturbances while recruits are graded on how they handle the situations. In other areas of the park, ACPAAA members are store owners or robbery suspects in retails shops. These are one of the last scenarios recruits go through before graduation.

BUILDING SEARCHES

During the CPA class scenarios, along with traffic stops, ACPAAA members are suspects hiding within a building. The class participants are officers in search of these suspects.

RECEPTIONS

The ACPAAA members hosts three receptions (soon to be four) for the police officers and the personnel that work in the police departments at the West station, East Station, North Station, and the newly opened South Station. The receptions start around 9:00am to midnight for three consecutive days. The long hours ensure all three shifts from each station is covered. This is one of the most important things that the ACPAAA does for the Arlington Police Department. It is something the officers look forward and remember.
