Together we can make a difference

What is the Police Athletic League?

The Police Athletic League is a youth activities program run by Police Officers of The Palatka Police Department and a volunteer Board of Directors for the purpose of:

• Preventing juvenile crime and drug use.
• To provide positive role models for our youth.
• To develop discipline, self esteem and positive moral values through wholesome competition.
• To create better relations through Communication between Law Enforcement Officers and the youth of our community.

Why Do Kids Need the Police Athletic League?

Some youth in our community grow up with no positive contact with Police Officers. The lack of positive contact breeds distrust and fear. Negative influences in some parts of the community are having more impact on our youth than the positive influences. The Palatka PAL provides positive role models for our youth and a drug free, safe atmosphere to play and learn.

PAL involves the community.

The Police Athletic League is a cooperative effort of the Palatka Police Department, community volunteers, business leaders and citizens. PAL is funded by public contributions that go directly to the youth programs. Money raised at PAL goes to funding first rate programs and to purchase and maintain equipment. Donations enable community youth participation in Police supervised activities.
