Recently, my 9-year-old grandson completed a weeklong program through the Police Athletic League called “Kids ‘N’ Kops.” Not only is he still talking about the fun he had, but also about the valuable lessons he learned.

Officers Paul White and Cliff Worcester taught these kids how our judicial system works and how to respect others, as well as themselves. Kids ‘N’ Kops is one of many programs our Police Athletic League sponsors to help educate our youths in understanding and learning the values of a safe and healthy community.

A very heartfelt thank you to all of those who dedicate their time and effort in these programs to help ensure that our young people become the mature and healthy adults they so deserve to be.
