Village of Pinecrest Police Department

The Village achieved the goal of providing residents with a municipal police department that has significantly brought down crime rates through excellent community policing. The Police Department was established soon after incorporation on June 16, 1997. The department’s size and responsiveness allows for a community specifc response and “small town” feel which has become a central element of its culture. In the beginning, the police department was located on the second floor of Suniland Plaza and had 27 employees. The police department has its own public safety answering point unit (911 dispatch center), which was established in 1999. The police department has become a premier agency with triple accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA), and the Florida Telecommunications Accreditation Commission (FLA TAC). The department is currently staffed by 51 sworn police personnel and 23 civilian support staff members. Non-emergency: (305) 234-2121. Dial 911 for emergencies.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Pinecrest village, FL has an estimated population of 18,138.
