Police Department's Summer Interns to Sponsor PAL Day at Riverfront

Pal Day takes place Wednesday, July 20 from 1-4 p.m.

Aetna held a team-building exercise through which 10 PAL (Police Activities League) children were recipients of brand-new bicycles. On Wednesday, July 20, from 1-4 p.m., the summer interns at Aetna will be sponsoring a PAL Day at the Riverfront on Leibert Rd.

Members of the community are invited to attend the event. The interns have planned a number of activities, including a bike rodeo and obstacle course. There will be free ice cream as well as a variety of Hartford Police Department specialty teams and equipment (toys) for children to explore.
