POLICE DEPARTMENT
Jeffery C. Lindskoog Police Chief The Lake Park Police Department is a full service law enforcement agency providing service to the community 24 hours a day seven days a week. Operating its own emergency dispatch center, the police department answers emergency and non emergency calls around the clock. A full time staff of 25 sworn officers, 6 dispatchers, 3 support staff and a variety of part time officers, dispatchers and citizen volunteers, allows the department to provide many of the nontraditional services usually found only in larger police agencies.
Located in the midst of urban southeast Florida and dealing with the crime issues that plague this region, (click here for crime statistics) the Lake Park Police Department is proud to boast that over the last 5 years our crime rate has been REDUCED by over 40%. The Lake Park Police Department store front office (849 Park Ave) in the heart of "Downtown" that houses the community police initiatives and volunteers, is one example of the extraordinary efforts put forth by the department to address the community's ever changing environment.

Focusing on crime prevention, members of the department provide programs such as home and business security inspections, neighborhood watch and citizens on patrol, just to name a few.
