Chief Stepp’s Message

SteppI am pleased that a group of community leaders have stepped forward to form The Palm Beach Gardens Police Foundation.

This Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization designed to support our mission of providing the highest quality law enforcement, community education, and support services possible. It will help us be responsive to the public interest; transparent and inclusive in our operation; and innovative in responding to the challenges of law enforcement.

A safe community is everyone’s responsibility. I appreciate the work of our community in helping support our Police Department."
--- Chief Stephen J. Stepp

Please be aware

We are a non-profit organization that supports the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department. If you wish to contact the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department you may do so in the following ways:

  • 9-1-1
    (Voice and TDD/TTY)
    For Life-Threatening Emergencies Only

  • Non-Emergency 1-561-799-4445

"Do you know what the road conditions are??"

Children aren't the only ones who should be educated in 9-1-1 usage. Many adults use the system for incidents that do not require an emergency call. Keep in mind that for every non-emergency call placed through 9-1-1, it is one more call taking up the time of communications personnel who could be handling real emergency calls for help.

How you can help

As a non-profit charitable organization, the PBGPF can accept contributions that are fully tax-deductible. Donors may request that contributions be used for needs identified by the Foundation or for specific purposes and programs. Requests for anonymity from donors are honored.

Funds raised support a variety of initiatives important to public safety, crime reduction and an improved quality of life for all residents.


Prevent crime, save lives and make our community a better and safer place to live, work and visit. It's good for your family and it's good for business.  [more..]

Welcome to the Police Foundation

Murphy"As President of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Foundation, I am very appreciative of everyone who has made a donation to our Foundation. Without your generosity and support, what we do for the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, the officers and their families, would not be possible.

Our Annual Appeal is now under way and we look forward to your continued support. In these difficult financial times we know that charitable contributions are often difficult. On the other hand, City budgets are continuously being cut so the work of the Foundation is even more important in order for us to maintain the level of police excellence that we have come to appreciate here in Palm Beach Gardens Thank you for helping further our ability to assist.
--- President Tom Murphy

Telephone Solicitors

Please remember that we DO NOT solicit donations by phone. We recommend you DO NOT donate money to telephone solicitors representing themselves as police officers. These professional phone solicitors contribute very little of the money they raise to the actual organizations that they claim to represent.

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for three months. You can register your home or mobile phone for free. Your registration will be effective for five years. To register your phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, click here.

FREE Children’s Fingerprinting

Fingerprints are an excellent form of identification and are often used to help locate missing persons.

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department now offers FREE fingerprinting for children of the community. The fingerprinting program is designed to create an awareness of the national problem of missing children and helps promote the prevention of missing persons within the City of Palm Beach Gardens.

The program is free of charge and is strictly voluntary. Completed fingerprints are retained by the family - the only record maintained by the Police Department is a log of the parents' and children's names.
