WCPAA EVENTS
Boots & Badges Basketball Challenge
Every Spring since 2011, WCPAA hosts a basketball challenge featuring players from Waukesha's Police and Fire Departments. The challenge raises money for local charities.

WCPAA Summer Picnic
One of the perks of being a WCPAA member is the fun activities we have as a group. Each Summer we plan a picnic to coincide with one of our Continuing Education meetings. It's a great opportunity to learn more about the other members as well as learn more about things the police department does.
Run With the Cops 5K Fun Run/Walk
Run With the Cops (formerly Run From the Cops) is a 5K Fun Run/Walk in downtown Waukesha each August. The money raised goes back to the police department. The first race was held in 2014 and is celebrating 10 years in 2024!
