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 and the reinforcement of the responsible values and attitudes instilled in young people by their parents.
The mission of the Chelmsford Police Athletic League is to provide opportunities for girls and boys to participate in team and individual sports or activities in a safe, well-supervised environment. CPAL's objectives are to promote the ideals of good sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork, equality, and healthy. The priorities provide an opportunity for all youths to play and/or participate, promote having fun and learning ahead of winning, strive to develop confidence and self esteem, maintain a strong non-competitive program for all beginning and less skilled participants, provide situations where players are competing within an appropriate skill level, and foster a trusting and lasting relationship between participants and Chelmsford Police Officers. The Chelmsford Police Athletic League gives all youths, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnic background, religion, creed, or wealth, an opportunity to participate in any and all programs we run.
