Hawaiʻi Isle Police Activities League (HI-PAL)
Established on island in 1980, the Hawaiʻi Isle Police Activities League, (HI-PAL), provides social and athletic activities for Hawaiʻi Island youth between the ages of 5 and 17. Activities range from boxing, basketball, and fishing tournaments to canoe regattas, BMX bike rallies, school dances, rodeo events, and much more.
Objectives
- Provide recreation for the youth who neither belongs to nor is affiliated with any similar organization.
- Develop a friendly relationship between youths and police officers.
- Cultivate and improve moral and civic standards for youths in our community.
Purpose
- Promote and safeguard our youth.
- Promote a spirit of sportsmanship, benevolence, friendship, sociability, goodwill, and tolerance.
- Provide a safe meeting place for young people with promoting their common interests.
Officers
HI-PAL comes under the jurisdiction of each district commander, whose patrol and community policing officers, with community member assistance, provide positive activities for keiki that teach moral and social values, such as sportsmanship, fair play, respect for authority, self discipline and the benefits of hard work, all while having fun. HI-PAL also reaches out to children who are considered “at risk” due to economic, geographical, or social situations.
