P.A.L. Police Activity League 

P.A.L. is a youth crime prevention program that relies on educational, athletic and other recreational activities to cement a bond of trust and understanding
between police officers and the youth in our community. This bond of respect for police officers and the law is beneficial to the young person, the police officer, the neighborhood, and the business community. PAL serves disadvantaged youth, ages 7-17.
