In light of the tragic events, we want to remind everyone what they can do during an Active Shooter situation.

Welcome to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office District 12, City of Pahokee website.

I would like to take this opportunity and introduce myself as the District 12 Commander. My name is Michael Kennedy and it is an honor and privilege to serve the constituents within the incorporated geographical area of Pahokee. I have lived in Florida for most of my life. In 2000, I graduated from The University of North Florida and received a Bachelor of Arts in Education. Soon after, I embarked on my journey as a mentor and teacher.

In 2003, I began my career with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Since that time I have served in the following capacities: Road Patrol Deputy, Community Policing Unit, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team Member, Tactical Unit (Agent), Road Patrol Sergeant, Street Team Sergeant, Detective Sergeant, and Watch Commander.

Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to working with local City Officials and assisting the citizens of Pahokee within the Western Communities. Our Administrative Offices are located at 38840 SR 80, Belle Glade Florida.

Sincerely,

Lieutenant Michael Kennedy
Executive Officer (District 5) Western Region, Commander- City of Pahokee (District 12)
