The goal of the Police Activity League of Waterbury, Inc. to enable all young people, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, income, gender, sexual orientation or disability, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The interaction with police officers in a positive setting provides a basis for trust and respect. PAL believes that when a child can respect the police officer on the field, in a classroom or in the gym, that same child is more likely to respect the laws the police enforce.
