Who We Are

Strengthening Jacksonville, One Relationship at a Time

The Police Athletic League of Jacksonville (JaxPAL) is a 501(c)(3) youth-serving nonprofit that enriches the lives of children by creating positive relationships between law enforcement officers and the youth of our community through education, athletic, outreach, and teen leadership programs.

Our work to build positive relationships between police officers and kids— through our collaborative partnership with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office— sets us apart from other youth-serving organizations in our community. These relationships are transformational for both the officers and the kids who participate in our programs, giving our community and our kids the opportunity to grow stronger together.

Message from the Sheriff

As Jacksonville’s Sheriff, I pledge my full support to the Police Athletic League of Jacksonville (“JaxPAL”) and its important mission. As one of the most successful crime prevention tools utilized by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, JaxPAL is and will continue to be a vital component of our crime prevention strategy. 

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is honored to partner with Florida PAL, National PAL, and JaxPAL. These partnerships and the programs that they support are hugely impactful on the lives and futures of the children in our community. I wholeheartedly believe in the mission and success of JaxPAL, and the organization will continue to have my unwavering support and commitment.
