Visibility in residential areas has increased as units have been redeployed through computer directed patrol.

Continued emphasis upon community policing and increased positive resident contact in our community.

Traffic is a reduced priority except for motor units.

The neighborhoods in decline (South Wind, Inlet & Robalo) are being addressed by our Transitional Neighborhood Team (TNT).

North palm beach police department COST SAVINGS

January 2014 – June 2014

STRENGTHS: The Police Department continues to receive strong resident support and wide latitude in

goal accomplishments (providing a safe community environment). WEAKNESSES: Training in high liability areas was woefully inadequate (multi-year improvement

underway). North Palm Beach is surrounded by communities with more intense criminal populations.OPPORTUNITIES: Continued focus on crime prevention, community policing and engagement on quality of

life and code enforcement concerns. Pursuit of a COPS grant for 8 additional officers to open a fourth zone South of Lighthouse

is under consideration and open to discussion. Examination of the benefit of license plate reader deployment in The Village as an

investigative and intelligence aid is underway. Grant sources will be sought during this discussion as well.

Consideration of merging our Communications, Records and radio infrastructure with Palm Beach Gardens/North Com is underway to both experience, better service delivery, reduced costs and more effective communications with partnering communities. All current Records, Communications, CADS and radio infrastructure is reaching end of life with significant costs on the immediate horizon.

During fiscal year 2014/2015 the Police Department has requested conversion of one Police Service Aide/Park Ranger to Criminal Intelligence Analyst to enhance deployment strategies/times to better provide predictive staffing deployment to crime hotspots.

THREATS: As the economy improves, Reserve Officer deployment historically drops. The challenge

will be adequate staffing without as many reserve hours worked. Continued crime increases plague The Village after a 22% decrease in crime during 2013. Insufficient sworn staffing increases overtime significantly, contributes to work place

injuries, fatigue and lower productivity.

North Palm Beach Police DepartmentsWot analysis

Future Plans Continue highly visible neighborhood interaction/accessibility.

Establish a business closing program to deter closing time robberies.

Continue predictive/preventative directed patrol assignments.
