history

Palm Bay Police headquarters operates from a modern facility built in 1990. The 33,000 square foot two-story building, located adjacent to City Hall, houses more than 200 personnel; 164 of which are sworn officers.

The City of Palm Bay was incorporated in 1959 under its current charter.  What was once a small agricultural community in the 1950’s has become the largest city in Brevard County with a current population of 106,439.  Our rapid growth has created an ongoing challenge from demands on resources and services.  We meet that challenge with determination and optimism.
