The Saint Paul Police Activities League (P.A.L.) utilizes educational, athletic and recreational activities to create trust and understanding between police officers and youth. It is based on the idea that young people can develop strong positive attitudes towards police officers in their journey through life toward the goal of maturity and good citizenship. PAL gives kids a safe place to play, positive role models, and creative activities to engage in—all for FREE
