13. North Palm Beach Police Department sWot analysis
STRENGTHS:
The Police Department continues to receive strong resident and council 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.
Sober home / overdose issues.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Continued focus on crime prevention, community policing and engagement on quality of life and code enforcement concerns.
Sober home task force participation.
THREATS:
As the economy improves, Reserve Officer deployment historically drops. The challenge will be adequate staffing without as many reserve hours worked.
Insufficient sworn staffing increases overtime significantly, contributes to work place injuries, fatigue and lower productivity.
Overdose increases sapping of un-committed crime prevention time.
