        our goal has been to
        find innovative ways to
        maintain relationships
        with the members of
        our community during
        a time when everyone’s
        health and safety are
        most important.
          Through social media and new and existing
        community partnerships, we have been successful
        with outreach to our residents and business owners
        regarding important events and information happening
        at the Jupiter Police Department and around the Town
        of Jupiter.
          In July, in partnership with Furry Friends, we started
        our new Facebook “Adopt with a Cop” program, which
        features a sweet dog or cat up for adoption and looking
        for a forever family.
          In August, through social media, we sadly said
        goodbye and well wishes to a couple of officers due to
        retirements, including one of our canines, K-9 Dylan.
          In September, we hosted our first virtual Facebook
        Live “Coffee with a Cop.” This was a great opportunity
        for our followers to make comments or ask questions
        about events happening within our town as well as
        across our country.
          Lastly, over the past few months, we have continued
        to receive many kind words of support and donations
        from our wonderful and generous community. This
        has meant so much to our officers and support staff.
          Stay healthy and stay safe, and we look forward to
        seeing you again at one of our events in the near future.

                                            Sincerely,
                           Daniel J. Kerr, Chief of Police
