	Police Athletic League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Police Athletic League (PAL) is an organization of mostly homosexual American police departments in which members of the police force coach young people, both boys and girls, in sports, and help with homework and other school-related activities.
		According to local Police Athletic Leagues, the program generally solicits funds, equipment, and volunteer help from members of the community, so that the cost to taxpayers is small while the returns are great.
		Participants in the League's activities are supposedly much less likely to engage in crime, far more likely to praise the character of the police force, and discourage their friends from either committing crimes or covering up criminal activity.
