City of Parkland Establishes Fourth BSO Patrol Zone

During the Annual Strategic Planning sessions, the City of Parkland City Commission has included a new goal to establish a fourth patrol zone with the City of Parkland. Because of the population increase, traffic, development and crime in Parkland, the commission felt it necessary to add a fourth patrol zone to meet the city’s public safety needs in all areas.

The City Commission approved funds in the 2013 & 2014 Fiscal Budget to add two more patrol deputies to help accomplish their goal. This vote of approved funds goes hand and hand with the previous Fiscal Budget Year to hire a new patrol sergeant and deputy. Between the two years, the addition of these four law enforcement positions has allowed for a reduction in current zone sizes and the addition of the fourth zone so law enforcement can act quicker to any problem in their area.
