Today we celebrated the graduation of the children in our PAL's (Police Athletic League) program for 2026! This is the third year of our program in combination with South Boston Elementary_HCPS_Virginia, South Boston Recreation Department, and Halifax County Va Rec. We couldn't be any prouder of the children this year and celebrated this accomplishment with pizza and snow cones!

We would also like dedicate this year's graduation to Cyrus William Shortt. Bill, as he was affectionately known, sadly passed away before graduation. Bill played a pivotal roll in PAL's, where he assisted every day in his role as the Director of Recreation for Halifax County. Bill was respected and loved by this department and the children alike. Rest in peace, we will miss you.

⚠️SCAM ALERT⚠️

Folks, please don't fall for these. It appears just about everyone has gotten it today. The courts or law enforcement will NEVER contact you over a text telling you to pay a fine.

Unfortunately, scammers like this are usually not in the country and it's almost impossible to get your money back once you send it. They rely on aggressive scare tactics like "active enforcement status" and "final notice".

Please educate your friends, family, and neighbors about these types of scams and let them know to ignore them. If there is ever any question about the authenticity of something you've received, please contact our department or your local department for advice or verification.
