Our road patrol deputies responded to a shoplifting in progress at a local Supermarket.

Thanks Coach T!
In honor of Black History Month PBSO would like to recognize... Deputy Kenneth Torrence, mostly known by the community as "Coach T" who has been serving Palm Beach County for 29 years.

It Takes a Village
Remember Alan? Alan’s bikes broke on Sunday. So he called Deputy Carseni and asked if she could help. So she did! Deputy Carseni took it to Village Bike Shop where they were able to fix it, so Alan can continue to use it to go to work. (see our first story on Alan here)
