Jackson Police host youth basketball league
SUMMARY: Children in Jackson are being taught discipline and teamwork through the Police Athletic League (PALS) program, which involves basketball and classroom lessons. The goal is to keep kids out of trouble by keeping them busy and active. Solomon Vance, a 13-year-old participant, credits the program for helping kids stay out of trouble and building relationships with law enforcement. The program aims to make a direct impact on youth by providing a positive outlet and support system outside of their households. As youth crime rates increase, programs like PALS help steer kids in the right direction and provide a sense of community and support.
