On May 28, 2016 SF PAL’s own Cadet Sergeant Dexter
Cato graduated from Gateway High School and was recognized by his student body and faculty as being the most community service oriented student in his graduating class. Dexter will continue his education at the prestigious UC Berkeley; subsequently pursuing a career in law enforcement. We want to congratulate him on his accomplishments and wish him much success in his future endeavors. Congratulations Dexter.
On Sunday, May 22nd, SF PAL in conjunction with San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department held “The Kids’ Games” track and field event at the historic site at Kezar Stadium.
Community youths ranging in age from 8 to 13 participated in various events including 50, 100 and 200 Meter races as well as a 4×100 relay and a long jump competition. Ribbons were awarded and food was served making it a great day to share with the community we serve.
SF PAL would like to thank Retired Captain Rick Bruce for organizing the event as well as Nathan Birnbaum from the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. A special thank you goes to the kind folks at Boston Properties for their help in putting on this event. Let’s do it again next year!

On a beautiful, crisp Saturday morning, SFPAL made its presence felt at the annual Ocean Beach Clean-Up. PAL Cadets joined with other community members to celebrate Earth Day by getting together to tidy up beautiful Ocean Beach, one of San Francisco’s most famous landmarks. It’s just one more way that SFPAL shows its love for The City it serves.

In honor of Super Bowl 50 being played in the Bay Area, it felt like a good time for a little Kids vs. Cops scrimmage! SFPAL’s Conditioning Program and the Sandlot Program are both avenues that bring community youth and law enforcement officers together in a healthy and fun environment. Here are a couple of recent photos that prove the point! Could there be a future Cam Newton or Peyton Manning in this photo? Who knows? But, they’re off to a great start and having a good time in the process.
SFPAL is ready for 2016!!! Keep an eye on this site for news about exciting events, programs and activities coming your way!!!
The year 2015 ended on a very positive note for SFPAL and 2016 is already shaping up to be another banner year.
The PAL Cadets donated thousands of volunteer hours and are a credit to San Francisco. Our 2016 Summer Cadet Program is hoping to welcome 50-plus community youth, and after the training in June, they will be going to the Stations and Units to work. We see a bright future for our communities and our country with future leaders willing to give back at such an early age.
With Costco and The Home Depot’s incredible help we were able to share toys with several organizations including a New Year drop off at Special Victims Unit for the advocates to share with the children that visit.
The pediatric unit at St. Luke’s was also a beneficiary of the Toy Drive and a special thanks to the POA for their support in putting smiles on children’s faces this holiday season.
Our Holiday Party was held at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, again thanks to Home Depot for their help with decorations, and the ongoing generosity from the SFPD is greatly appreciated. The event was catered by Toast Catering and Jim always goes way above and beyond. There was so much food, that we were able to give what was left to the families to take home.
Everyone at SFPAL would also like to take a moment to welcome Conor Costello to the family! Conor is Mike and Vikki’s second son and little Michael’s baby brother. What a great way to cap off a great year!
The PAL Board members and staff wishes each of you a healthy, happy and bright new year!
SFPAL was at Koret Children’s Playground & Carousel to offer their help with some landscaping work! Here’s some photos from the annual event:
