As a reward for outstanding academic achievement, over 100 Boston Public School students received new bicycles and helmets. The Boston Police Athletic League (PAL) funded this initiative as a way of congratulating the students for their 100% attendance record. Youth Service Officers’ from each of the 11 police districts have worked closely with each of these dedicated pupils since the beginning of the school year.

The students visited police headquarters and picked up their new set of wheels accessorized with a new safety helmet. They also participated in a “bike rodeo” behind police headquarters and received valuable safety tips from the officers of the Tactical Bicycle Unit.
