About PAL

The Rancho Cordova Police Department is teaming up with local volunteers and community members to create a nationally recognized Police Activities League (PAL) in the Rancho Cordova community.

PAL is an activities oriented juvenile crime prevention program that provides at-risk and underprivileged youth with guidance, organized activities and educational programming in a safe and friendly environment.

PAL wants to address increased incidents of juvenile crime and violence in our community, especially during non-school hours, and reduce gang activity and drug/alcohol abuse.

PAL wants to provide positive activities for youth in our community, regardless of location or economic status and build positive relationships with police officers and respect for law enforcement.

We are dedicated toward accomplishing these tasks with these Goals:

  • Commitment to include all youth
  • Build Trust
  • Build Self-Esteem
  • Develop a sense of Community involvement
  • Promote Personal Responsibility
  • Promote Educational Excellence
  • Promote Physical Fitness & Nutritional Awareness
  • Promote Recreational Opportunities
  • Promote Leadership Skills
  • Promote Positive Sportsmanship through Athletic Activities

Our Mission Statement:
"The Mission of the Rancho Cordova Police Activities league is to involve and mentor community youth in social, educational, recreational, and leadership activities that will deter crime, increase self esteem, and promote a positive relationship with law enforcement."
