The SCPAA
​Scholarship Award Program

Picture
The Sandwich Citizens Police Academy Alumni (SCPAA) annual scholarship award provides financial support to a resident of Sandwich or a graduate of the Sandwich Citizens Police Academy who wants to pursue or continue his/her education leading to a career in criminal justice.

Applicants must have exhibited noteworthy overall academic performance, participated in extra-curricular activities including employment, be of good character with no criminal record, and demonstrated leadership in community activity.

The $1,000 award may be used for tuition, room and board, books, lab fees, and equipment. The scholarship will be paid either to the college attended by the student or directly to the student after SCPAA receives a report showing his/her successful completion of the first marking period at that college and a letter indicating that the student plans to continue his/her criminal justice studies.

For more information or to receive an application, a student should contact the school's Guidance Counselor or Financial Aid Officer. They can also send an e:mail request to scpaainc@yahoo.com.

Sandwich Food Pantry -
​Stuff a Police Cruiser ​

Picture
For the past several years, SCPAA volunteers have participated in the annual "Stuff a Cruiser" event. Officer Dan Perkins is the driving force behind this project, which collects food and cash donations for the Sandwich Food Pantry. Volunteers are stationed outside the two Stop and Shop stores in Sandwich to help stuff a Sandwich Police cruiser with bags of nonperishable food items and paper products donated by shoppers, and the bags are then delivered to the Food Pantry. Volunteers are on hand at the Pantry itself to help staff sort and shelve the donations.

Additionally, as a result of the "Stuff a Cruiser" event, there are now TEN SCPA Alumni who regularly assist at the Sandwich Food Pantry. THANK YOU Roni Pierce, Bernie Ferioli, Gary Gronlund, Colleen Hayes, Sue and Jim Leavey, Alice and Bob Paul, and Nancy and Carl Rose!

Toys for Tots

​The Toys for Tots campaign put on by the Sandwich Police and Fire Departments is one of the SCPAA's favorite volunteering opportunities. Usually taking place over 2 days and in 2 different locations, the people of Sandwich show their generosity and compassion by filling multiple box with toys for the children of the community. in 2017 the Sandwich Police Department donated 1474 toys to Toys for Tots, all of which go to a child on Cape Cod.  

​The Sandwich Citizens Police Academy Alumni put in 128 person hours helping out!
