Sjpd's pal is one of the oldest citizen-building youth programs in the nation. It is based on the conviction that young people - if they are reached early enough - can develop strong, positive attitudes towards police officers and the law. Some 10,000 young people are currently participating in pal programs. Pal's sports complex, built with donated funds, is a reminder of the community commitment to its youth. The complex, which is located at king road and highway 280 in san jose, features lighted softball, baseball, football and soccer fields. Pal's formula is simple. It consists of dedicated police officers and dedicated civilian volunteers working together for one cause - the development of youth. To guide youngsters towards responsible and mature citizenship. To provide a common platform of growth for police officers, youngsters and citizens. To encourage the american principle of good will, friendship and sportsmanship.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
