Police

Welcome to the City of West Palm Beach Police Department's website.

 

Police officers rely on their partners in all sorts of situations. And that applies to all members of the department, including the four-legged kind. Meet K9 Marshall and his partner, Officer Rodney Archer. Marshall is called upon on official duties, but also serves as an ambassador for the West Palm Beach Police Department.
