The Police Athletic League (PAL) is an athletic based program designed to connect police officers with the youth in their community by engaging boys and girls in positive activities that improve their quality of life, present developmental opportunities, and offer the prospect of a brighter future.
Its concept is based on the belief that if kids are reached early enough they can develop strong positive attitudes toward police officers in their journey through life toward the goal of maturity and good citizenship.
It will allow the opportunity for kids to interact with police officers and gain the positive perception that we are their friends and want to help them through their lives... by doing so we not only impact that child's life but hopefully prevent juvenile crimes, gang recruitment and enhances community support.
