5 Community Citizen Police Academy The Columbus Division of Po- lice graduated the 37th Citizen Police Academy class on May 27, 2017. The class was one of the most diverse and was com- prised of 30 men and women including New American, So- mali, Eastern European, and hearing-impaired individuals who completed the free 12- week community education program intended to build last- ing relationships between pro- gram participants and the Co- lumbus Division of Police, with the ultimate goal of reducing crime and achieving the best police service in the Columbus Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association (CPAAA) working Red, White & Boom. community. The program gives people an inside look at the val- ues, philosophies, and operations of the Division, while at the same time serving as an open forum for questions, discussion and the exchange of ideas.

TAPS The Champion Middle School TAPS (Teens And Police Service) Academy students participated in the 11- week program, which serves to reduce the social distance between youth and police by inspiring alterna- tive ways of looking at situations and promoting positive decision making. The other schools that partic- ipated in 2017 were Johnson Park Middle School, Hilltonia Middle School, and Dominion Middle School.

Lt. Hughes and his helpers took the normal markings and lights off a cruiser and replaced them with special pink decals. Cure 1, the “pinked out” cruiser, was driven by Lt. Hughes, who never does anything low-key, in a bright pink police uniform shirt and hat. Cancer survivor Patricia Temple, Photography Unit Supervisor, was his partner in crime for the day. Lt. Hughes put a lot of smiles on faces be- fore, during, and after the race with his positive and upbeat attitude.
