What is the Rochester Police Athletic League (P.A.L)
The Rochester Police Athletic League is a non-profit organization (tax ID# 41-2007848) dedicated to the positive development of the youth of Rochester and surrounding communities. Through PAL, police officers and young people participate in athletic, social, and educational activities to learn more about each other and their communities. PAL's youth programs help young people develop self-esteem, leadership skills, and a sense of belonging, as well as improve school performance, resolve conflicts, and occupy their out-of-school time productively.
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.
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.
