What people are saying...

  • I think we need to have these relationships built on both sides and I think this is a great way to do that. And I think the girls love it. I know its really good to see officers doing community events and I think it’s really positive.

  • Nobody trusts the police. Especially when you come from a neighborhood like ours. They are all at risk youth; I think it’s great that the police are actually stepping up and stepping in.

  • I think it was pretty cool to get to know who [the police officers] really were, and to be able to hang out with them, and not just see them in their cop car.

  • I participated in PAL when I was in 8th grade in basketball, and for [native-american] girls, I think specifically they have disparities that are unique to being native american and female, so I think its good to get them involved in sports and teach them a healthy lifestyle and healthy ways.
