<br />PROJECT SUMMARY <br /> <br />This section must include a brief description (not exceeding one page) of the proposed project. <br />You must use at least a 10 or 12 pitch or point type, <br /> <br />This request for grant funding is being made on behalf of <br />the City of Paris and its Police Department to fund a full time <br />police officer as a Coordinator for the Paris Police Athletic <br />League. (P.A.L.) <br />The Police Athletic League is a juvenile crime prevention <br />program aimed at reducing juvenile crime, illegal drug use and <br /> <br />criminal gang activity. <br /> <br />The Police Athleti.c League does this <br /> <br />by offering recreational and athletic programs to children and <br />youth between the ages of eight (8) and eighteen (18). <br />Currently there are 260 plus children enrolled in the program. <br />The current full time P.A.L. Coordinator has been able to <br /> <br />organize the current programs and expand activities to include <br /> <br /> <br />more children in more programs so that we could greatly <br /> <br /> <br />increase the number of youth in our city i~l our program, The <br /> <br /> <br />coordinator has also set up a Juvenile Offenders Program so <br /> <br />that the youth already in trouble can have an opportunity to be <br />probated on condition of mandatory attendance at the P.A.L. <br />This is a great project, but we desperately need to <br />maintain the Coordinator. <br /> <br />Thanks <br /> <br />for <br /> <br />your <br /> <br />thoughtful <br /> <br />consideration. <br /> <br />~~. <br />
