Welcome Captain Lazar, Thank you Captain Bruce (Ret.)
The Board of Directors of the San Francisco Police Activities League would like to take this opportunity to express their deep gratitude for the outstanding service and dedication of outgoing SFPAL President Captain Rick Bruce (Ret.)
Captain Bruce’s countless hours of hard work and his ability to encourage and motivate others on behalf of the program will be deeply missed. SFPAL will be forever in his debt.
The Board would also like to announce the appointment of Captain David Lazar to the SFPAL President’s chair.
Captain Lazar brings great energy and leadership to his new role as president after devoting much time and effort to ensure that the mission of putting kids and cops together in classrooms, gymnasiums and playgrounds is being fulfilled in the City.
SFPAL is proud and honored to have worked with Captain Bruce and looks forward to the future growth and success of our programs under the guidance of Captain Lazar.
2015 Polar Plunge & 5K Fun Run/Walk
SFPAL members were proud to be among the participants in this year’s Polar Plunge and 5K Fun Run/Walk to benefit the Special Olympics!
The event, which took place Saturday, February 21 at the Aquatic Park in San Francisco was attended by several SFPAL Law Enforcement Cadets who both participated and assisted in the set-up and organization for this major fundraiser.
Sure, it was a bit of a chilly dip, but great fun was had by all while raising awareness on behalf of the Special Olympics program.

Special SFPAL screening of McFarland USA was a smash!
On a recent, brisk February morning SFPAL friends and family gathered at the UA Regal Cinema at the Stonestown Galleria to enjoy a special screening of the new inspirational film from Disney Studios, McFarland USA, starring Kevin Costner.
The crowd gathered in the lobby and loaded up on popcorn and soda pop from the snack bar before settling into their seats. Following a brief introduction from Chief Greg Suhr and SFPAL President Captain David Lazar, the lights went down and the projector started to roll.
McFarland USA chronicles the true story of high school coach Jim White and the kids from a predominately Latino small town who find themselves linked, like it or not, in an effort to achieve a goal no one thought they could reach.
The SFPAL audience clapped and cheered several times throughout the uplifting story. Afterward, nearly everyone in attendance commented on how inspiring and motivating the film was.
SFPAL would like to thank the UA Regal Cinema and Walt Disney Pictures for providing the group with a sneak peek of what is sure to be one of the year’s most heartwarming films. McFarland USA is set for general release on February, 20th.
