About Us
The members of the Montgomery County Sheriff Citizens Academy Alumni Association (MCSCAAA) are proud supporters of the many men and women of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, and consider them true partners and leaders in our area of Texas. MCSO was the first law enforcement agency to offer the citizens of Montgomery County a Citizens Academy program back in 1997, and the program was a success from the beginning. After a few years, the graduates of the Citizens Academy classes chose to take the next step and form an Alumni Association, with the purpose of building an even stronger relationship between the citizen graduates of the program and MCSO, built on trust, service and our mutual goals of making Montgomery County a great place to live. MCSCAAA was formally incorporated in 2004, and now has a rich history and record of ongoing support of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
With more than 100 members in 2025, MCSCAAA continues to provide several thousand volunteer hours of service each year in many areas of MCSO, including such things as assistance in the Records Keeping office, the Crime Stoppers program, jail operations, K9 training, support during events such as the Promotions and Awards Ceremonies, Academy Cadet Graduation Ceremonies, and numerous other functions throughout each year. Our Alumni Association provides financial assistance to individual officers any time there is a special need from something like an injury to an officer, severe illness or the like. Our members are always proud to help in any way we are needed, and know all we do is greatly appreciated by the men and women of MCSO.
MCSCAAA is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit entity. The affairs of the Alumni Association are governed by our ByLaws, and administered by a MCSCAAA Executive Board comprised of six elected Association officers, the Association Historian and the MCSO Liaison Officer. MCSCAAA members meet regularly on the 3rd Monday of each month (except February and December) with an Agenda that covers association business matters, upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, MCSO updates from our Liaison Officer, and an occasional guest speaker that will often present topics of high interest to everyone. Each meeting begins with a presentation of our official MCSCAAA Opening prayer, followed by everyone's recital of our Pledge of Allegiance to our Nation, and our Pledge of Allegiance to the State of Texas.
