K-PAL seeks participants for 2018 programs
The Kaua‘i Police Activities League (K-PAL) is accepting registrations for its juvenile jiu-
jitsu and Chess with the Chief programs.
Beginning Jan. 11, 2018, juvenile jiu-jitsu classes for youth kindergarten through seventh
grade will be held on Thursdays, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Classes for youth eighth grade
through 12th grade will be held on Fridays, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., starting Jan. 5, 2018. All
classes will be held at the K-PAL Youth Center in Kapa‘a, and instructed by members of the
Kaua‘i Technical Institute. The fee to register for jiu-jitsu classes is $25.
Chess with the Chief begins Jan. 13, 2018, and is scheduled to take place every second
and fourth Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Kaua‘i Police Headquarters in Līhu‘e.
Chess with the Chief is a free program designed to help youth ages 10 and older learn
fundamentals, history, strategy and competitive play with Kaua‘i Police Chief Darryl Perry.
K-PAL is a non-profit organization devoted to developing character, self-discipline and
healthy lifestyles among Kaua‘i’s youth. It seeks to strengthen police-community relations.
K-PAL strives to “fill playgrounds, not prisons” by providing positive activities and role models for
Kaua‘i youth in hopes of encouraging good behavior and helping them reach their full potential.
Additionally, K-PAL strives to create an environment which inspires Kaua‘i’s youth to
maintain a drug-free life and avoid the dangerous paths associated with illegal drugs.
K-PAL is encouraging paperless registration. If you would like to register for any of the
programs, please visit www.kauaipal.org. A full schedule of classes with specific dates and
times can be viewed at the above website link.
For more information on K-PAL programs, or if you need an ASL Interpreter, materials
in an alternate format, or other auxiliary aid support, please contact Sgt. Lance Okasaki at 241-
1647 or kpal@kauai.gov.
