Traffic Enforcement

Our Deputies are out in full force enforcing safe driving. One catch, instead of traffic tickets we’re trying something new. We’re rewarding safe drivers with PBSO Coffee mugs to thank them for wearing their seatbelts, respecting speed limits and driving safely.

More Re-Openings

Palm Beach County is reopening tanning, tattooing, and body piercing establishments with appropriate safety guidelines as outlined by the Florida Department of Health. These establishments are low risk with facial coverings, physical distancing, and enhanced cleaning protocols.

Honoring Fallen COVID-19 Heroes

We honor those on the front lines of this pandemic for their heroic sacrifices. Since the start of the pandemic, we have lost over 80 law enforcement officers around the country from contracting the virus in the line of duty. They left their families to protect ours. May they rest in peace. https://www.facebook.com/palmbeachcountysheriff/videos/333490744470374/
