Overview

Mission

The mission of the marina police activities league (pal) is to engage youth in positive activities, fostering physical fitness, self-esteem, teamwork, leadership, sportsmansip, and hard work. Pal aims to create a positive relationship between law enforcement and the community, providing youth with educational, recreational, and athletic opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Furnishes uniforms, equipment and training to police cadets to train them and for use during community service work for local communities in the area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 81% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and the available information about grant readiness state registration leaves an important question unanswered.
