The West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is advancing public safety efforts across its targeted redevelopment areas — including the Historic Northwest, Pleasant City, Northwood Village and the Broadway Corridor — through several initiatives designed to deter crime, support local businesses and improve quality of life for residents.
The effort includes nearly doubling private security patrol hours in the Historic Northwest from 80 to 152 hours weekly, covering foot, vehicle, and optional patrols.
“Public safety is foundational to redevelopment,” Chris Roog, executive director of the West Palm Beach CRA, said. “When people feel secure, neighborhoods thrive, businesses see more foot traffic, residents are more engaged, and investment follows. We are excited to launch these initiatives, which are in direct response to feedback we’ve received from residents and business owners.”
