The Ponce Partner program is designed for elderly and/or at-risk residents. Any resident who lives alone, has medical problems or has no one they are in contact with daily can sign up for the program. The program requires participants call the Police Department between the hours of 8:00am and 12:00 noon daily. Failure to call initiates a call from the dispatcher. If they do not make contact, an officer or volunteer is sent to the residence for well being check.

The Department is involved with the Children’s Activity Committee. This volunteer group gets together and provides activities for the children in the Town of Ponce Inlet. In addition, the Department has a Police Athletic League (PAL). The program was started a couple of years ago and has 21 children participating. Monthly activities include trips to GoKart City, Stone Edge Skate Park and miniature golf. Pro golf lessons and billiards are additional recreational activities included in the program. The Police Athletic League has also assisted the Children’s Activity Committee with Christmas, Easter and Halloween parties.

The Police Department has put on several community awareness programs for the residents, the Lions Club and the Women’s Club. The topics have included identity theft, computer protection and how to protect yourself while shopping. The Department has a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, who works with Safe Kids at an event at the town’s Community Center. They assisted in 15 car seat installations during the event.

The Ponce Inlet Police Department's dedication to providing excellent service to the community and maintaining a partnership with the residents and business owners has resulted in many programs which benefit both the community and the Department. Although a small agency, the services are comprehensive and clearly demonstrate their commitment to the community to which they serve.
