PAL
(back to top)
Information:
PAL is a youth crime prevention program that
utilizes educational, athletic and recreational
activities to create trust and understanding
between police officers and youth. It is based
on the conviction that young people- if they
are reached early enough – can develop
strong positive attitudes towards police officers
in their journey thorough life toward the goal
of maturity and good citizenship. The PAL program
brings youth under the supervision and positive
influence of a law enforcement agency and expands
public awareness about the role of a police
officer and the reinforcement of the responsible
values and attitudes instilled in young people
by their parents.
Studies have shown that if a young person respects
a police officer on the ball field, gym or classroom,
the youth will likely come to respect the laws
that police officers enforce. Such respect is
beneficial to the youth, the police officer,
the neighborhood and the business community.
Cops & Kids – Working Together for
a better tomorrow.
The National Police Athletics/Activities Leagues,
Inc. exists to prevent juvenile crime and violence
by providing civic, athletic, recreational and
educational opportunities and resources to PAL
Chapters.
