Harrison Recreation Supervisor, PAL CoDirector Sr. Officer Luis McArthur PAL Co-Director OVERVIEW The Oxnard Police Activities League (PAL) was established in 1994 as a city-wide program to provide outreach to all of Oxnard’s youth in an effort to build positive relationships between youth, police officers, and the community. PAL’s primary goal is to foster a bond of mutual trust and understanding between police officers and young people by enabling them to interact in a non-confrontation setting. PAL offers educational, cultural, and recreation activities with an emphasis on reaching youth “at-risk.” Oxnard PAL, a non-profit organization and a member of both California PAL and National PAL, is a partnership between the Oxnard Police Department and the City of Oxnard Recreation & Community Services Department. The Police Department and Recreation Department each commit one full-time staff member to co-direct the program. Membership is free and programs at PAL are offered at little to no cost. BOXING The PAL Boxing program is directly administered by Oxnard PAL which is a member in good-standing with the U.S. Amateur Athletic Boxing Federation.
