PAL Staff

Officer Delores Pryce
Executive Director

Hello All:  I am a 24 year veteran of the Melbourne Florida Police Department and I am a native born Melbourne, Floridian.  I served five years in the United States Army and graduated from Melbourne High.  I love my community and especially the youth of the Greater Melbourne Police Athletic League.  Melbourne PAL was established by Officer Joe Davis (retired), and I had the honor of becoming one of the first PAL kids when I was 11 years old.  I have been working with youth for about 18 years as a School Resource Officer (SRO), DARE, GREAT, and a Life Skills Instructor within the Brevard County education system.  I have also served in the capacity of Truant Officer, focusing on the entire Brevard County geographic area.  My expertise is in working with our youth, and I really enjoy this aspect of my job. 

“Because of caring police officers, I was spared a possible life of crime.  As such, I know that Police Athletic Leagues work--it worked for me.  For me, giving back to the community is imperative.  By doing so, you could actually save a child from a life of crime, or worse, death.”

Marthenia Jones, was born and raised in Melbourne, Florida. She was a PAL kid 30 years ago. Marthenia had the opportunity to play on the PAL softball team with the Executive Director of PAL (Delores Pryce). As of August 2007 she has accepted the position for PAL as the Administrative Assistant. Before coming back to PAL she has coached girl’s volleyball, basketball and softball for 9 years. I enjoy working with kids and I’m grateful to be a part of the PAL program.
