Approve $600,000 agreement to fund Police Activities League programs

Why This Vote Matters

The council approved a two-year agreement to fund the Police Activities League's youth programs, with the city paying up to $300,000 annually to subsidize staff salaries and keep sports and activities affordable for local families. The measure passed with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with only Councilmember Boozé abstaining. This funding helps connect Richmond children with police officers through recreational programs rather than enforcement situations. The agreement continues the city's existing financial support for the youth-focused community policing initiative.
