About Us
Bridging The Gap
The MCPAL program brings youth under the supervision and positive influence of law enforcement. MCPAL expands public awareness about the role of a law enforcement and in turn police officers reinforce positive values and attitudes.
Investing In Our Youth
MCPAL provides Medina County youth a safe and fun after-school activity. We have programs in 10 schools throughout Medina County, offering twice-weekly after-school programming. We also have running clubs and a March Madness Basketball League in 7 elementary schools in Medina. MCPAL, in partnership with the Medina County Sheriff's Office also offers Medina County Law Enforcement Explorer's. Law Enforcement Exploring is a hand’s on, career-oriented program that gives young adults the opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement.
