President’s Corner                                                  October 2025

Good morning!

On a personal note-

If I have been less than responsive of late, please forgive me.  I recently had surgery, and recovery has been a bit slower than expected.  I believe I am caught up on all my emails, but if I have not answered yours, please contact me again. 

Looking Ahead

Haunted Hallways

Our annual Haunted Hallways event will take place Wednesday October 22nd and we still need as many volunteers as possible at both D1 and D2!  Sign up when you log into the member’s area!  If you can’t be there in person and still would like to contribute, we are accepting candy donations! Email me and I will pick up your donation.

Santa at the PD

Preparations are underway for Santa at the PD! This family-friendly event is scheduled for mid-December and will bring together PD families for pictures with Santa, crafts, and treats. Volunteers will be needed for setup, crowd management, and cleanup. An event announcement will go out later this month. This is always a heartwarming tradition that strengthens our community ties — let’s make it another memorable one.

25-Year Anniversary of the TCPAAA

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Thornton Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (TCPAAA) — an incredible milestone. Planning is underway for a commemorative celebration that honors the organization’s long-standing service and partnership with our department. More details will follow as plans are finalized.

If anyone ever has a question about our organization, please send me an email at lgriffin@tcpaaa.com.  I will return your email within 1 business day.

In Service,

Lisa Griffin
