Chief David Hayes emphasized the importance of having the youths teamed with police officers, firefighters, and probation employees. “The Alton Police Department is committed to building a positive relationship with the youth of our community. I hope that this event showcases the teamwork that exists between the Police Department and the young people of our community, both on and off the basketball court” said Hayes.
Approximately 75 kids participated in the basketball clinic last year.
