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). The majority of our offenders reside outside of North Palm Beach.OPPORTUNITIES: Continued focus on crime prevention, community policing and engagement on quality of life and code enforcement concerns. Implemented license plate reader deployment in The Village as an investigative and intelligence aid. Grant sources will be sought during this discussion as well – ImplementedTHREATS: As the economy improves, Reserve Officer deployment historically drops. The challenge will be adequate staffing without as many reserve hours worked.
