To designate the fourth week of April of each year as the "Week of the Police Athletic League."

Page 2: [2] Deleted Henry Dahl $3 / 15 / 200411: 45: 00$ AM It is the public policy of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to provide children and adolescents with attention and care, and all those opportunities leading to their better and more complete physical, emotional and intellectual development. The Police Athletic League, founded on April 22, 1943, that is to say, approximately sixty years ago, complies with such objective, and has worked intensely for it, since its creation as a civic organization.

This prominent organization, through sports, the modeling of highly educated police and activities of various types, effective for the complete development of children and adolescents, comprises presently more than 28,000 children, who are protected from vice, drugs and crime. Throughout the 60 years of its existence, thousands of professionals, civic, business, industry and political leaders benefited from its activities, aimed at providing health enjoyment and recreation and leadership.

Many of our present civic and political leaders formed part of the League. So, as an example, the Honorable William Miranda Marín, Mayor of the Caguas Municipality; the Honorable Aníbal Meléndez, Mayor of the Fajardo Municipality, the artist Iris Chacón and the outstanding Big League player, Bernie Williams. In the same way, a

considerable amount of mayors, artists, attorneys, physicians and radio and television personalities form part of this significant list.

The Police of Puerto Rico and the citizenry, through the federations of Athletic League parents, established in all of Puerto Rico's towns, make extraordinary efforts to protect, direct and channel our childhood through the path of a healthy social togetherness. This effort, without doubt, must be acknowledged and stimulated by all the community. The designation of the fourth week of April as "Week of the Police Athletic League", serves this purpose well and allows the people to participate in a collective act that acknowledges, values and adds to the meritorious social benefit of this praiseworthy organization.

Es política pública del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, proveer a los niños y adolescentes la atención, cuidado y todas aquellas oportunidades que propendan a su mejor y más completo desarrollo físico, emocional e intelectual. La Liga Atlética Policíaca, fundada el 22 de abril de 1943, es decir, hace cerca de 60 años, cumple ese propósito y labora intensamente para ello, desde su nacimiento como organización cívica.

Esta prominente organización, mediante el deporte, el modelaje de policías altamente educados y actividades de diversa naturaleza, efectivas para el desarrollo integral de

niños y adolescentes, agrupa en este momento a más de 28,000 niños, a quienes protege del vicio, la droga y el crimen. Durante sus 60 años de existencia, miles de profesionales, líderes cívicos, del comercio, la industria y la política, se beneficiaron de sus actividades, dirigidas a proveer esparcimiento, recreación sana y liderazgo.

Muchos de nuestros líderes cívicos y políticos del presente formaron parte de la Liga. Así, por vía de ejemplo, el Honorable William Miranda Marín, Alcalde del Municipio de Caguas; el Honorable Aníbal Meléndez, Alcalde del Municipio de Fajardo, la artista Iris Chacón y el sobresaliente pelotero de Grandes Ligas, Bernie Williams. Asimismo, una cantidad considerable de alcaldes, artistas, abogados, médicos y personalidades de la radio y la televisión integran esta significativa lista.

La Policía de Puerto Rico y la ciudadanía, por medio de federaciones de padres de la Liga Atlética, establecidas en todos los pueblos de Puerto Rico, hacen esfuerzos extraordinarios para proteger, dirigir y encauzar a nuestra niñez por el camino de la sana convivencia social. Ese esfuerzo, sin lugar a dudas, debe ser reconocido y estimulado por toda la comunidad.
