ROJECT SUMMARY <br /> <br />.his section must include a brief description (not exceeding one page) of the proposed project. <br />.au 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 the City of Paris and its <br /> <br /> <br />Police Department to fund a full ~ime police officer as a Coordinator for the Paris <br /> <br /> <br />Poli"" Athletic League.- (P.A.L.) -- <br /> <br />The Police Athletic League is a juvenile crime prevention program aimed at reducing <br /> <br /> <br />juvenile crime, illegal drug use and criminal gang activity. The Police Athletic <br /> <br /> <br />League does this by offering recreational and athletic programs to children and <br /> <br />youth bet~een the ages of eight (8) and eighteen (18). Currently P.A.L. has <br /> <br /> <br />serviced over 360 youths in the program. <br /> <br />The current full time P.A.L. Coordinator has been able to organize the current <br /> <br /> <br />programs and expand activities to include more children in more programs so that <br /> <br /> <br />~e could greatly increase the number of youth in our city in our program. The <br /> <br /> <br />Coordinator has also set up a Juvenile Offenders Program so that the youth already <br /> <br /> <br />in trouble can have an opportunity to be probated on condition of mandatory atten- <br /> <br />dance at the P.A.L. <br /> <br />This is a great project, but ~e desperately need to maintain the Coordinator. <br />Thanks for your thoughtful consideration. <br /> <br />r-~ _ <br />
