Executive Director's Message
Our 501C(3), a non-profit crime prevention organization, allows youth ages 8 to 18 years to become involved in educational, cultural, and sporting activities to help them reach their full potential.
Working collaboratively with the Police Department, we offer a wide range of services to the community. We strive to reach those most needing our services as we provide these programs.
Police Athletic Leagues across the country exist to help unite Law Enforcement Officers and youth, promoting an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. With these attributes as the foundation, we intend to improve the quality of life in our respective communities.
Together, the Board of Directors and Staff, with the community's support, elected officials, and many volunteers, help our PAL serve thousands of youth each year. Many businesses and individuals help provide financial support to purchase related equipment, and we will be forever grateful to them and our volunteers.
Please contact us if you want to join our team. Working together, we can continue fulfilling our motto of "Filling Parks, Not Prisons."
