PBSO ACTIVITY REPORT
LT. RODNEY THOMAS
RODNEY THOMAS
Lieutenant
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office
District-II

Lieutenant Thomas began his law enforcement
career in 1989 as a “reserve” police officer with
the City of Palm Beach Gardens (FL). In 1990,
he was hired as a full-time police officer by the
Town of Mangonia Park, where he was eventually
promoted to Sergeant, then as Chief of Police in 2003.

In February of 2007, the Town of Mangonia Park
contracted with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s
Office for law enforcement services. At the unanimous
request of the Town Council, Rodney Thomas was given
the rank of Lieutenant with the PBSO and assigned to
our town as the District-II Commander.

Lt. Thomas is a 1985 graduate of the former North Shore
High School in West Palm Beach (FL). He has an Associate
of Science degree in Paralegal/Legal Secretary Studies
from Palm Beach Community College in Lake Worth (FL),
and a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from
Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton (FL). Rodney is
currently enrolled in the Masters Program at Barry
University. Lt. Thomas is presently married and the proud
father of six children.

“It is my opinion, and personal creed, that everyone is
special”, claims Lt. Thomas. “All citizens, including those
we suspect of committing a crime, should be treated with
the respect they deserve and expect from their law
enforcement community”.
