Any Suggestions

My friend from PBSO told me the check this site out.

I've been here for 8 years. I can confirm there are no talks with PBSO on a merger. PBSO is a great agency with an amazing contract and benefits, and I wouldn't care what color uniform I wear I just enjoy being an LEO.

I have lots of friends who work for PBSO who love it, and I work for BBPD and I love it. As far as I'm concerned, we need to get over this whose better attitude and be cops.

Are there any suggestion's on how to make BBPD better?

As a resident of Boynton I couldn't agree with you more. The response time is horrible, and cops are rude and you never see one and they can't seem to do anything right. I can't wait to leave this screwed up city.

There is not enough officers at BBPD to protect and serve the City of Boynton Beach. The 150 sworn needs to significantly increase at BBPD. The city's population has greatly increased in the past years but the BBPD has remained the same size.

This factor creates slow response times and officer safety issues. Residents are dissatisfied when it takes officers too long to respond to the scene. The city is crippled whenever there's a major incident and multiple officers are needed to work the scene. A common sense solution is to beef up the number of uniformed officers in each zone. This will free up other officers and decrease response time.

Please, do not take from the specialty units to add to road patrol. That numbers game never work in the past and could be the reason why the crime rate is so high at this point. If the specialty units were used properly they can play a key role in reducing crime in Boynton Beach.
The speacialty units need to be adequatley manned to target specific crimes. A drug unit to target drugs, street crimes unit to target crimes such as burglaries, robberies and/or prostitution and a gang unit to tackle gang problem.

There are good officers at BBPD but Boynton has lost a lot more good officers for different reasons. Most will say they left for better work conditions.

The questions are.... What does the chief and his administration have to do to increase the number of sworn officers. When and how does Boynton intiate above-mentioned redeployment.

You are 100% correct. I don't see this happening anytime soon. With the state soon to cut property tax, the city manager explained to me they would have to cut the fire department project as well as cut the amount of officers on the road. I live in east Boynton and the other night my neighbor had a burglary in progress, when I called the police it took 9 mins for them to get there. This is happening everywhere and these tax cuts are only going to hurt Law Enforcement more. A couple of years ago, the Sheriff's Office was promising 25 officers a shift if they merged, I think that was under Bieluch. That would be great, but even the big Sheriff's Office is having staffing shortages. I know there are no talks now, which is fine, but BBPD has to beef up their patrols. I think the current Chief is doing a good job. I also saw 3 Boynton cops on I-95 the other night because there was a large accident. When I saw one the other day I asked about it and they said FHP had two Troopers in the whole county so BBPD had to stand-by for FHP to arrive. That's a bunch of BS. Well, all you officers in the county, PBSO, BBPD, and so forth are doing a damn good job. Keep up the good work.

"I work for Delray and what is it with you guys? Can you not control your city? There are so many problems start doing something!!" Whoa there high speeder! Are we to believe that Delray has no crime?


"As a resident of Boynton I couldn't agree with you more. The response time is horrible, and cops are rude and you never see one and they can't seem to do anything right. I can't wait to leave this screwed up city." As someone who is familiar with the police department and their personnel, I can't wait for you to leave either.

I agree that Boynton PD is not growing as fast as the City, however the Police Department personnel are still trying to keep it as safe as they can.

Good Work BBPD. Stay safe.

Wow you're an absolute prick. What are sleeping with the Chief? Every post you write you bash PBSO, you bash Delray, a now bashing the residents. You either work for Boynton, or you need to wipe the brown stuff off your nose. If things were so good, Boynton wouldn't be leading the county in murders and violent crime right now. You need to get your headed examined. I'm trying not to disrespect you, but it seems to you BBPD is the greatest thing since sliced bread. They are no better than Delray, PBSO, West Palm, Gardens, Boca, and even Jupiter. Not to mention the Cheif of BBPD did a great job asking for more money today at the gang seminar at PBCC. Maybe he should have talked more about gangs instead of tax cuts. Immler is doing a great job, but maybe you should stop kissing his butt.

You are correct. After the shooting tonight in Lake Worth if you rear the following comments, people everywhere are talking about how bad Boynton is. Yet someone on still believes BBPD is doing a great job and that crime in non-existent in the city. Lake Worth PD and BBPD can't control their city. Belle Glade is bad, but they don't have as many homicides as Boynton or Lake Worth. http://www.topix.net/forum/source/south ...

I now work for a large agency in Washington. As a former Boynton Police Officer, I will say I love the officers I worked with in Boynton Beach. I have to agree with the above articles, things are out of control and I don't think BBPD can handle it. It's going to take a large agency with many resources or a tight joint operation to help reduce crime in Boynton. Boytnon has always had crime and always will. It will take an agency with tons of resources and man power to get crime under control. Boynton can't do it and can't afford to hire enough road patrol officers and specialized unit officers. Boynton is way too busy and will never have the resources of the county and they are on the verge of being the next Riviera Beach. Guys and girls stay safe out there you have a hard job.

Now, now lets not get childish. First you are incorrect about me bashing anyone, except the ridiculous comment by the resident who believes that he or she knows enough to generalize all BBPD officers. I believe that the agencies you mention are very good, I also believe that BBPD is very good.


Wow you're an absolute prick. What are sleeping with the Chief?
You talk big, yet you have no idea who I am, or anything about me.

No doubt that you believe that you did your homework. You didn't do a good job! Boynton Beach is not leading the County in homicides.

Just to clarify since you apparently didn't get it the first time. I think that PBSO is an excellent agency, I think that most of the agencies in the County are very good.

So far this year Boynton Beach was leading in homicides. There were 12 as of March 23, 2007. PBSO had one out west in Delray. Boynton has had more sig 5 then any other city. Now I think Lake Worth is leading the pack. You're right I don't know who you are, but obviously you're not a Deputy, and since you love Boynton so much, it's obvious you do something with the city of Boynton. Like I said I'll discuss this any day with you and will facts and figures to back it. I don't want to do it on this board, because I'm not a Boynton cop and don't want to take up there space. It's more of a waste of time to argue about things like this. I have my opinion and you have yours. So you let me know what you want to do. In the mean time, stay safe.

The 12 homicides are not from this year only, there haven't been that many.

I would be glad to meet with you.

The county all together has had more than 12 homicides. Boynton was leading for the cities, unic has only had 2. I think Lake Worth is now in the lead.

That makes sense

That makes sense

Hopefully things will work things out. I'm willing to do what it takes. Be safe brother.

for the Eichorst officer!

Fine as wine!!

Why would you want to stop the growth. It is about time that BB grew into a larger city and people grew out of the "small town" image.

I can't comment about the whole climbing through window issue, other than the ocassional welfare check to see if the occupant is okay. In that case a lawsuit would not be warranted, I'm only assuming that is what you are referring to.

The reality of the situation is that YOU are in the minority of people who believe that the Police are dirty. I'm not going to say that all Police are "model citizens", however the vast majority are good, hardworking people who are genuinely concerned for the citizens they are sworn to protect.

Just to let you know you don't have to be a "snitch" to cooperate, a witness or even anonymous would be great. Maybe if more people would cooperate the crime rate who go down.

The majority of the residents in Boynton Beach are very good people, there are only a few that commit crimes.

I'm not sure what "a hair on the wrong side" means.

Lets change the who to would.

Isnt it ironc that most of the people who have such dastardly comments about police officers have never been a LEO. They have no idea what this job is about and the challenges we face on a daily basis. Thats all they know is what they see on the news and television shows. I would like to see them do this job and see how they react to their own comments. I dont mean ride alongs, I mean actually doing the job!!.. This society is so critical on the people whom do this job that others are either too scared to do or just dont do. I dont mean to get on a sop box, but negative citizen comments whom have no idea what they are talking about is getting a little ridicuolus. :x

How many dredded family and neighbors do you have. I'll bet it looks like a spiderhead convention at your house.

All you folks are hilarious. I've worked with Boynton for well over 20 years and I am still there working the streets today. Boynton has some good officers and we have some officers that are their own worst enimies. You know the type - every agency has them. For the most part we have a lot of young officers who require time and seasoning. We have probably more criminals per square yard than any surrounding agency other than Riviera Beach. The officers here could do more (like most agencies) but not everyone is a star (except for the people who have written the blogs before this one). We possess the training ground for PBSO and other agencies that dare to enter into the city - I have called home for a long time now. I have seen mismanagement come and go as others have but I am not willing to bash my fellow officers or surrounding agencies. Almost all of our brother and sister officers (from both cities and county) think they have it better or worse than everyone else and that's their opinion. But walk a mile in my shoes and then you have a right to comment on what you see. All in all the men and women officers of Boynton Beach do a good job for what they have to work with. When and if you are daring enough to walk the walk - then you can talk the talk. Until then, press you power key off and save yourself some time and the world your stupidity.
