PAL - Police Activities League - History / Volunteering & Youth Programs

Since 1999, the Santa Barbara Police Department has supported the Santa Barbara Police Activities League (SBPAL) and its mission of building positive relationships between teens, law enforcement and the community.

SBPAL maintains an open-door policy, supporting any youth within the eligible age group, with a focus on those who may not have yet found their voice or niche. Our primary goal is to empower youth to achieve success beyond high school graduation, with opportunities such as college, military service, or trade school.
