SaferWatch App
Chief Smith recently told the Board of Directors that the Police
Foundation funded "SaferWatch" smartphone app
has been used quite extensively during the
Covid "Stay-At-Home directive. Officers have received
and responded to several tips from residents during the
lockdown.
SaferWatch is a web and mobile based security system
that empowers users to report an incident as they see it
happening or submit a tip at a later time. SaferWatch
provides real-time two-way communication with our Juno
Beach Police Department.
Census 2020
The time is now. Help
shape your future, and your community's future, by
responding to the 2020 Census.
The 2020 Census is underway and the most important thing
you can do is respond online, by phone, or by mail when
you receive your invitation. The Census ensures that the
Town gets its fair share of funding from state and local
government - and those funds are then allocated to Town
department - including the Juno
Beach Police Department.
Most households received their invitation to respond to
the 2020 Census between March 12 – 20. These official
Census Bureau mailings will include detailed information
and a Census ID for completing the Census online.
The Town of Juno Beach is urging all of our
residents to respond to the
Census. If you have any questions, you may contact a
Juno Beach staff member at 561-626-1122 or e-mail
us and we will help you answer any
questions regarding the 2020 Census.
For more information about the census please pay a visit

Jack Kneuer
May 4, 1933 - April 8, 2020
We are saddened to learn of the passing of a major supporter of both the Juno Beach Police Department and the Police Foundation and a very active member
of our local community.
 Jack
received the Town of Juno Beach Civic Person
of the Year Award in 2013 and the
Police Department’s very first Community
Partnership Award in 2015. He was a
former member of the Planning & Zoning Board of Juno
Beach and a founding member of the Juno Beach Town Hall
“Coffee Club.” Jack was also active in St. Patrick Catholic
Church in Palm Beach Gardens as well as the Elks Club of
Jupiter.
Always ready with a smile and an offer to help the
Police in any way he could, Jack will be missed by his
friends, neighbors and numerous Juno Beach residents.
Jack's life has ended, but his memory will remain with us.
Brush Fire Season
The Town of Juno Beach has asked us to remind residents
that it is Brush Fire Season. The
driest March in recorded history is causing concerns
across South Florida, as many water utility directors
are preparing for a drought.
It is strongly urged that all residents avoid fire pits,
bonfires, and burning yard waste trash. Outside
burning is not permitted. Also, as a safety precaution,
please remove all dead plant materials located within 30
feet of your home.
If you have any questions, please contact the
Town of Juno Beach Code Enforcement staff at (561) 626-1122.
