In keeping with its’ commitment to Community Policing, the Somerset Police Department, in cooperation with the Somerset School Department, will hold a Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) youth activity program for Somerset residents. Due to the Pandemic this year’s Pal program will be held Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9AM until 12PM commencing February 27th and 28th, 2021.
The registration and Covid-19 protocols, along with program schedules and forms can be found here.
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 reached early enough, can develop strong positive attitudes towards police officers during their journey toward the goal of maturity and good citizenship.
The PAL program brings youth under the supervision and positive influence of law enforcement officers while expanding public awareness about the role of a police officer, and reinforcing the responsible values and attitudes instilled in young people by their parents.
The P.A.L. program will be held at the Somerset Middle School gymnasium and will include activities such as floor hockey, indoor soccer, basketball and kickball.
Students wishing to enroll in the next PAL program should complete the application below and return it to the Somerset Police Station or bring it to the first day of registration, at a date to be announced at the Somerset Middle School.
Our Somerset Police Athletic League is administrated and run by Patrolman Keith Wilkinson, Patrolman Paul Trenholme, and S.R.O. Brendan Hague.
