A new police outreach hub aims to strengthen community ties in Boynton Beach's redevelopment district.Boynton Beach TodayThe Boynton Beach Police Department has opened a new office for its Neighborhood Officer Program within the city's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) district. The facility will serve as a centralized hub for officers assigned to the CRA area, which has been the focus of long-term economic and neighborhood investment. The goal is to increase accessibility, improve communication, and deepen relationships between police and residents and businesses in the district.
Why it matters
The new office ties public safety efforts directly to the broader redevelopment goals of the CRA district, which has seen a focus on housing, commercial activity, and public infrastructure improvements in recent years. The Neighborhood Officer Program is a joint effort between the police department and the CRA to address both crime and long-term neighborhood stability.
The details
The Neighborhood Officer Program was established in 2015-2016 to shift towards a more embedded style of policing, with officers expected to operate as a regular, visible presence in the neighborhoods they serve. The new office will allow these officers to have a dedicated base of operations within the CRA district, improving coordination and increasing opportunities for day-to-day interaction with the public. Responsibilities for the program include coordinating with the Homeless Outreach Team, mentoring local students, participating in community events, and assisting with economic mobility initiatives.
- The Neighborhood Officer Program was established during the 2015–2016 fiscal year.
- The new office in the CRA district opened on April 8, 2026.
