The Amarillo Police Department will hold their annual Policeman’s Ball with a silent audition that will benefit Amarillo Area CASA. This event will be held at the civic center and both law enforcement and members of the public will attend. AACASA advocates for children of abuse and neglect through the efforts of trained volunteers, appointed by the court to ensure them a safe, nurturing and permanent environment. CASA believes that every child who's been abused or neglected deserves to have a dedicated advocate speaking up for their best interest in court, at school and in our community. As the state steps in to protect the welfare of the child, the judge appoints a CASA volunteer to make independent, unbiased, and informed recommendations to help the judge decide the best interest of the child.
