The next APROA Social will be held on October 24, 2010. The location for this event is in North Austin at 900 East Braker Lane (River City Bingo). Catfish will be served. There is no charge for APROA members and one guest. Additional guests are $11 each.

At our last gathering, many brought desserts to share with others and it really added to our event. At the October 24th event we will once again have a dessert table for those who may want to bring a dessert to share with others.

NOTE: River City Bingo does not sell alcoholic beverages.......so BYOB. Water and tea will be provided with the meal.

APROA Car Show

The APROA is sponsoring a Car Show on May 21, 2011. This is during National Police Week and we hope to not only have the Car Show but other pro-police activities at the same location.

Dennis Smith has volunteered to oversee this event and he is looking for all members who may have a vehicle they may want to show at this event. He is looking for photos of your vehicle as they may be used for the show's T-shirts and awards.

This is an open car show that will be sent out over the Internet to other (non-police) vehicle owners. We would like many APD vehicle owners to come out and show off their cars.

The location has not been set yet but it will be somewhere in the northwest Austin area.

Proceeds of this show will go to the Police Explorer Post of North Austin.

If you have any questions please contact Dennis Smith by phone at 512-852-1361 or by email at pawpaw54@suddenlink.net.

Hearing Loss – Work Related Claim

At our September meeting Dr. Cook addressed the membership in regards to a possible claim you may have due to hearing loss. The years of sirens, gunfire and radios did take a toll on the hearing of many officers and you may have a claim.

Dr. Cook’s office indicated officers could come in for a free exam. For more information or an appointment contact Laurie Cook at (512) 260-2665.

Should the test indicate a hearing loss that could be job related, you will need to contact the City of Austin for claim information. Click HERE for more information on filing a claim.
