Commending the Police Athletic League.
Whereas juvenile crime in the United States is on the rise
and contributes to the increasing amount of fear and ap-

Whereas one of the best hopes of reducing crime is by involv-
ing police officers in community efforts to prevent crime;
Whereas the Police Athletic League (also known as the Police
Activities League and PAL) involves police officers in
prevention as well as law enforcement activities;
Whereas PAL has been in existence for more than 50 years;
Whereas PAL has 246 local organizations throughout the
United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands;
Whereas more than 25,000 police officers volunteer many
hours protecting the communities of the Nation, thus ful-

filling the PAL motto ‘‘Filling Playgrounds, Not Pris-

Whereas one of PAL’s principal purposes is to promote trust
and understanding between youth and police officers in
an atmosphere of cooperation rather than confrontation;
Whereas PAL provides recreational and educational pro-
grams, including athletic tournaments, police cadet clubs,
and computer training, for more than 3,000,000 youth
nationwide; and
Whereas PAL provides at-risk youth with an alternative to
drugs and crime: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives com-

between youth and police officers, and for contributing to
the national effort to prevent crime.
