Underwood

March 24, 2025
PSA finds Parkland man missing for more than 24 hours

He was missing for more than 24 hours and then PSA Underwood found him.

PSA (Police Service Aide) Underwood has been serving the City of Coconut Creek for nearly 20 years. A couple of weeks ago, she was out writing a report on a fender-bender when she noticed a man who looked confused. He was standing on the sidewalk near where the minor crash she was investigating had taken place.

PSA Underwood knew he wasn't one of the drivers involved. So, she decided to approach him and talk to him. The more he spoke, the more it confirmed her suspicions. He wasn't drunk or on drugs. He was simply lost. Disoriented. PSA Underwood called an officer to the scene who looked into it and found out he was a 69-year-old man missing from Parkland. He had Alzheimer's and was last seen a full day before PSA Underwood encountered him; he spent more than 26 hours on the streets.

PSA Underwood and the other officers got him the help he needed. PSAs interact with the community just as much as our officers do. While their work is different, their dedication to service is the same, as evidenced by PSA Underwood noticing a confused man and having the compassion to help him.

On national holidays, the charge is $75 per hour (same minimum). Details should be requested as soon as possible to help ensure coverage. Anytime a request is for 4 or more officers, one of the officers will be at a supervisor rate of $70 per hour. If a supervisor is needed on a holiday, the rate will be $90 per hour. For traffic related only details, whenever a police officer is not available, a police service aide can also work the detail.

Once your request has been received, the Detail Coordinator will contact you to confirm. The Detail Officer for Event form is available and should there be any questions, you will be contacted.
