The Minneapolis Police Activities League (P.A.L.) is a program sponsored by the MPD in which sworn and civilian employees of the MPD participate in sports and recreational activities directly benefiting the city's youth.
Participation in P.A.L activities is open to all personnel on a voluntary basis. Employees shall comply with all policies and procedures of the MPD while participating in P.A.L. activities. All P.A.L. volunteers shall read, sign, and agree to abide by the P.A.L. volunteer guidelines. P.A.L. volunteers are expected to act in a professional manner.
Participation during regular work hours:
At their discretion, supervisors may release employees during normal work hours or allow employees flexible work hours to participate in P.A.L. Any combination of P.A.L. hours and work hours is considered a full workday as long as it meets the employee's shift requirement.
Employees who participate in a P.A.L. event consisting of 8 hours or more may submit a Special Duty request form, which must be completed and approved prior to the event.
P.A.L. Participation while off duty:
Employees may volunteer for P.A.L. activities outside of their normal work hours.
