Welcome to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office District 9 website. My name is Captain Eric Coleman and I am the Commander of District 9-Village of Royal Palm Beach.

In October of 2006, District 9 was created when the Village of Royal Palm Beach contracted with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services. Every former member of the Royal Palm Beach Police Department was hired by Sheriff Bradshaw when the agencies merged.

At District 9 we are committed to providing timely, professional law enforcement services to citizens, business owners and visitors to the Village of Royal Palm Beach. District 9 has implemented the philosophies and practices of community policing and is fully committed to problem solving at all levels through traditional and non-traditional strategies. We work in partnership with the community and our government stakeholders to address crime and quality of life issues in the Village.

Those of us in public safety realize that each day brings new challenges. However, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is committed to working with our elected officials, community leaders, village employees and the citizens of this great community to ensure that Royal Palm Beach remains a safe environment to live, work, raise our families and a community that we are all proud to call home. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions about our service delivery in the village. I can be reached at (561) 904-8272 or ColemanE@pbso.org.

Yours in service,

Captain Eric Coleman
