👮‍♂️Police Athletic League (PAL) – Youth Community Outreach

The Youth Community Outreach Division of the Greenville Police Department focuses on education and rehabilitation rather than punishment when working with juveniles and young offenders.

• Our mission is to develop and implement programs that actively engage youth, educate participants, and prevent juvenile delinquency. By partnering with local agencies that serve youth, we strengthen community connections and provide targeted programs that address the unique needs and concerns of Greenville’s young population. Through these efforts, PAL fosters mutual respect, mentorship, and positive relationships between youth, law enforcement, and community partners. 

• The Police Athletic League (PAL) connects youth with police officers to build positive relationships through educational, cultural, character-building, athletic, and recreational activities.

In 2019, PAL proudly served:

• 100 youth during Summer Camp
• 50 youth per semester in After School Programs
• 30 youth during Spring Break Camp

Through fun and mentorship, PAL empowers youth to learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive community.
