Police officers themselves assist with, mentor and instruct a variety of sporting events, encourage teamwork and leadership activities. This youth program, also called P.A.L. lets kids participate in sports like basketball, volleyball, swimming and bowling. 85 children are participating this summer in the P.A.L. program at Floyd Gwin Park.
