Direct answer
For Town of Palm Beach public records, use the Town Clerk for general municipal requests, the Police Records Unit for town police reports, and Clerk-linked online records for meeting and governance material; do not treat those searches as Palm Beach County records.
First decide whether “Palm Beach” means the Town, its police department or another government
A general Town of Palm Beach request belongs with the Town Clerk, whose office manages municipal records and the public-record portal. That route is appropriate for town administrative material when a more specific online repository does not already answer the question. It should not be used as a shortcut to Palm Beach County court, property or vital-record systems, which are outside this page's scope.
Police reports are different even though the Police Department is a town department. The Records Unit publishes its own instructions and asks for report-specific information. Accident records can also carry time-based access rules, so a missing report may reflect release restrictions rather than proof that no incident occurred.
The Town Clerk also maintains the municipal framework around meetings, ordinances, boards and commissions. If the question concerns a government decision rather than an incident report, identify the meeting body or municipal subject first. That usually produces a better retrieval key than asking the Town to search broadly for a person or address.
Choose the Palm Beach source by document type
Town administration
You need correspondence, a board file, permit-related municipal material or another town record
Use the Town Clerk request path unless the Clerk already exposes that material online.
Police report
You need an incident, offense or accident report from Palm Beach Police
Use Police Records and provide the report number, involved name and event date when available.
Agenda or minutes
You need the record of a town meeting or legislative action
Start with the Clerk-linked online meetings or records resource and keep the meeting date and item number.
A Palm Beach result has a narrow evidentiary meaning
| Result | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Town Clerk response | A record held by the Town office within the request scope | A search of Palm Beach County agencies |
| Police report | A police-held report released under the Records Unit process | A court disposition or statewide criminal history |
| Meeting record | An agenda, minute or action from a Town proceeding | Every later implementation document or department file |
