What is PAL?:
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 through 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 in the local community and reinforces responsible values and attitudes instilled in young people by their parents.

What is Rochester PAL?
The Rochester PAL branch of the National PAL organization is growing. Our biggest priority is the youth in our community. Our mission is to develop more innovative and exciting ways to get our youth involved in healthy, educational, rewarding and fun activities where they can be modeled good citizenship from our local police department. As well as working with the youth, we invite the families of all our members to participate in many of our activities.
