Bakersfield Police Activities League, BPAL, is a non-profit charitable organization formed in 1994 by Police officers and concerned citizens. It is one of the Police Department's approaches to juvenile delinquency prevention.
BPAL is about cops and kids. Police officers and other community members volunteer their time as coaches, mentors, role models, and friends to children in our community. BPAL provides positive self-esteem, mutual trust, and respect. BPAL targets at risk youth in high crime neighborhoods.
BPAL organizes charity events throughout the year to help fund these programs and that includes this weekend's Pull for PAL Clay Shoot. Check out more info in the interview below:
