PCPAAA Members Assisting Plano (PMAP)
Program Outline – Updated 2020‐04‐06 (v5)
Overview
The PCPAAA Members Assisting Plano (PMAP) program was first implemented as the Members Assisting Members
(MAM) due to the 2020 COVID‐19 (AKA “Coronavirus”) outbreak. The original intent of the program was to provide
fellow‐member support and assistance to Plano Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (PCPAAA) members who
due to social distancing or other self‐isolation policies may find it a risk to perform fundamental tasks such as grocery
shopping, picking up prescriptions or any other everyday tasks that they would normally carry out on their own but are
restricted from doing so in accordance with the current CDC guidelines.
As approved by the PCPAAA Board of Directors on April 1, 2020, the scope of the program has been extended to provide
its benefits beyond its own members to the residents of the City of Plano, Texas. As such the program was renamed to
PCPAAA Members Assisting Plano, using the acronym PMAP. Selected PCPAAA members have volunteered and been
approved to perform these tasks and will follow the guidelines as outlined below.
Program Guidelines
The idea behind the program is simple. Some Plano residents need help right now and some are willing to provide it.
However, here are some detailed guidelines we would like everyone to understand. Some of these are subject to change
as the program evolves:
The program is available to residents of the City of Plano only.
The program is intended primarily for the COVID‐19 high risk group, at‐risk, or temporarily incapacitated.
The program is designed to minimize any contact between volunteer and the recipient of the support or
assistance.
No credit information should be exposed by one person to another.
All assistance requiring picking up orders at a commercial location will be pre‐paid.
Orders should be placed online at local retailers (e.g. Walmart, Target, Kroger, Whole Foods Market, PetSmart,
etc.), and, where possible, timed for pickup at the time agreed to by the supporting volunteer.
Orders must be paid for by recipient online when order is placed. Volunteers cannot place any orders or assume
financial risk.
Due to the nature and risks related to COVID‐19, deliveries such as food or medications will be made to the door
of the recipient, in a non‐contact manner. The volunteer should not enter any home or indoor facility but may
visually confirm the delivery from a safe distance (preferably from the delivery vehicle if possible).
Transporting persons is not permitted under this program.
All volunteers must be approved by the program administrators.
The program is limited to Plano city limits and surrounding areas.
There is no fee to use this service. It is completely volunteer supported.
