The Savannah Police Department presented its Police Athletic/Activities League and the Savannah Impact Program as prevention-oriented outreach to youth. Slides list program offerings including tackle football, girls flag football, cheerleading, basketball, track and field, swimming, baseball and camps, and state the programs aim to build relationships between youth and law enforcement while offering mentorship, job training and leadership opportunities.
SPD materials described internship and early-hire pathways, short-term housing for recruits during Academy training and planned marketing to increase program reach. The slides frame these efforts as part of a broader youth-engagement strategy tied to violence-prevention goals rather than enforcement actions.
