We have a new location – the parking lots at the <strong>Heights Church, 201 W. Renner Road</strong> (SW corner of Renner Rd. and Central Expressway).</p> <p>The <strong>Spring Electronics Recycling and Paper Shredding Event</strong> is our largest fundraiser.</p> <p>The RCPAAA works hard to keep this event free to the public, but it is also expensive to produce. The cost to provide the shredding trucks is around $4000. You can help offset these expenses by donating to our <span style="color: #0000ff;">Back The Blue</span> fund, which will allow us to continue supporting the men and women of the Richardson Police Department.</p> <p>The <strong>Electronics Recycling and Paper Shredding Event</strong> begins at 10:00 am and closes at 2:00 pm.</p> <p>All types of electronics will be accepted EXCEPT old style CRT monitors and televisions.</p> <p>Paper shredding is primarily for residents of North Texas and is free. There is a 5 box limit for free shredding. We ask that you donate $5/box over the five boxes for free limit. A box is understood to mean a standard “banker’s box” which is normally about 10x12x16.</p> <p>This event is held in conjunction with the City of Richardson’s Trash Bash.</p> <p>This event is our major fundraiser for the year. While the event is free, donations will be solicited to help us support the Richardson Police Department. (RPD).</p> <p>The RCPAAA pays for the shredding trucks and the cost to provide those trucks increased dramatically for 2021. As a result, we may not be able to provide as many trucks as before. Once the trucks are full, we can no longer shred paper. We encourage everyone to arrive earlier rather than wait until the end to drop off their documents for shredding.</p> <p>The RCPAAA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the RPD. We provide meals on special occasions and “goody bags” for those officers and employees who work during the holidays. Scholarships are awarded to children of RPD employees who are entering college. We also provide help covering medical expenses for retired RPD K9s.</p> <p> </p>America/Chicago2024-03-29T10:00:00America/Chicago2024-03-29T14:00:00YEARLYenAlicia Marshall; events@rcpaaa.org; www.rcpaaa.org+32.995704-96.713244The Heights Church @ 201 W Renner Rd, Richardson, TX 75080, USA0https://www.rcpaaa.org/event/spring-electronics-recycling-paper-shredding-event/freeai1ec-929@www.rcpaaa.org2026-04-10T15:18:26ZNational Public Safety Telecommunicators Week<p>Each year, the <u>second full week of April</u> is dedicated to the men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators. It was first conceived by Patricia Anderson of the Contra Costa County (Calif.) Sheriff’s Office in 1981 and was observed only at that agency for three years. Members of the Virginia and North Carolina chapters of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) became involved in the mid-1980s. By the early 1990s, the national APCO organization convinced Congress of the need for a formal proclamation. Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) introduced what became H.J. Res. 284 to create “National Public Safety Telecommunicator Week.” According to the Congressional procedure, it was presented twice more in 1993 and 1994 and then became permanent, without the need for annual introduction.</p> <p>The 911 CARES project has a wide range of NTW logo products that are great for gifts—or just for yourself! Moreover, the project gives back to the dispatching community, so they are worthy of support. APCO has a blog to share NTW celebrations and honors.</p> <p>The official name of the week when initially introduced in Congress in 1991 was “National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.” In the intervening years, it has become known by several other names, including “National Public-Safety Telecommunications Week” and “International Public Safety Telecommunicator’s Week.” The Congressional resolution also stated there were more than “500,000 telecommunications specialists,” although other estimates put the number of dispatchers at just over 200,000. The Congressional figure may include support personnel and perhaps even those in the commercial sector of public safety communications.</p>America/Chicago2024-04-08T00:00:00America/Chicago2024-04-14T23:45:00YEARLY4en0https://www.rcpaaa.org/event/national-public-safety-telecommunicators-week-3/freeai1ec-1752@www.rcpaaa.org2026-04-10T15:18:26ZMonthly Membership Meetings<p>Meetings are held in the Multipurpose Room in the main building.
