6/5/2023 - Riviera Beach Police Dept New Temporary Operating Location

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THE RIVIERA BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL BEGIN OPERATING AT A TEMPORARY LOCATION RIVIERA BEACH, FL (June 5, 2023) – In a move designed to better serve the community, the Riviera Beach Police Department will be operating from a temporary location starting Tuesday, June 20, 2023. The Riviera Beach Police Department staff and personnel will be stationed at the Port Center Building on 2051 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. It is critical to state that this move will not interfere with the Police Department’s daily duties to serve Riviera Beach, and it will not impact the safety of our residents and visitors. The normal business hours at the Port Center are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you arrive during normal business hours, you can come into the lobby located in Suite 100 on the first floor. If you arrive outside of normal business hours, there will be a call box at the building’s entrance that will connect you to a Police Communications Operator. All police services that will be available at the Port Center will include, but are not limited to: Central Records, Police Administration, Patrol Operations, Investigations, Traffic Unit, and Victim Services. We want to reassure to the public that this was a well thought out and timely planning process. The existing police headquarters was built in 1978 and is over 45 years old. The facility no longer meets the demands of Police Department staff, and it is no longer feasible to repair and maintain the facility. The City Council approved Resolution 055-23 to authorize staff to move forward with the design, procurement, and construction of a new police headquarters building. The City executed a 4-year lease at a temporary location.
