There is no charge to drop off items, but donations to the RCPAAA are appreciated. The RCPAAA’s mission is to support the Richardson Police Department by enhancing awareness and appreciation of the department within the community, publicizing its services and accomplishments and developing partnerships. The money it raises is used to sponsor the RPD annual awards banquet, pay for snacks for officers working on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and assist with medical costs for retired K9 dogs.
Additionally, this year the RCPAAA is partnering with Network of Community Ministries to collect shampoo and soap. Representatives from Network will be on hand during the event to collect soap and shampoo to distribute to their clients.
