<br />'"''"'u..., <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CONTINUATION PAGE <br /> <br />This section must Include a brief description (not exceeding 200 words) of the proposed project. <br /> <br />For continuation, If necessary, of any Item on application page CJD-1. Identify by number the Item <br />being continued. <br /> <br />This sheet may also be used for any other remarks, at the applicant's option. <br /> <br />This request fQr grant funding is being made on behalf of the City of Paris and <br />its' Police Department to fund a full time police officer as a coordinator for the <br />Police Athletic League. (PAL). <br /> <br />The Police Athletic League is a juvenile crime prevention program aimed at <br />reducing juvenile crime, illegal drug use and criminal gang activity. The Police <br />Athletic League does this by offering recreational and athletic programs to children <br />and youth between the ages of eight (8) and eighteen (18). Currently there are 260 <br />plus children enrolled in the program. <br /> <br />A full time PAL coordinator would be able to organize all of the current programs <br />and even expand activities to include more children in more programs so that we could <br />greatly increase the number of youth in our city in our program. We could also use the <br />coordinator to set up a juvenile offenders program so that the youth already in trouble <br />could have an opportunity to be probated on condition of mandatory attendance at the PAL. <br /> <br />This is a great project. but we desparately need this coordinator. Thanks for <br />your thoughtful consideration. <br />
