Who We Are
The motto for the Rancho Cordova Police Activities League (PAL) is “Every Kid Needs a PAL,” and this program shows how true that is!
Rancho Cordova PAL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that builds relationships between RCPD and youth through a variety of programs, at no cost to the kids. Each year, the program serves more than 3,500 youth in our community.
Youth learn vital skills such as teamwork and sportsmanship, create lasting friendships with each other, build trust with officers, give back to the community, and have fun! PAL youth have gone on to do great things from becoming a police officer to achieving success in education and sports.
If you have a child interested in joining PAL, please contact us rcpdpal@ranchocordovapd.com or (916) 875-9627.
