Public safety in Lake Park is the responsibility of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, specifically the North Regional Bureau's District 10 division. The Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement services, responds to emergencies, and investigates criminal activities within the city. Residents can access information about local crime statistics, submit tips, and learn about community policing initiatives through the PBSO website. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also maintains a comprehensive criminal history records repository that can be accessed by the public.

Lake Park voters are served by the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, with the main office located at 240 South Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL 33415 (phone: 561-656-6200, website: pbcelections.org). This office administers all federal, state, county, and municipal elections for Lake Park residents. Florida voters can register online at registertovoteflorida.gov, the official state voter registration portal, or submit paper applications to the Supervisor of Elections office. The registration deadline is 29 days before any election. Voters must provide a Florida driver license number or Florida identification card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Lake Park holds municipal elections for Mayor and Town Commission seats; the town has a commission-manager form of government with five commissioners including the mayor. Lake Park municipal elections are typically held in March of odd-numbered years, with the next regular municipal election scheduled for March 2025. Candidate qualifying and local ballot measures are posted on the town's website and through the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections. Lake Park residents vote at assigned polling places based on their residential address; voters can find their specific polling location, view sample ballots, and check registration status at pbcelections.org by entering their name and date of birth or using the precinct finder tool. Florida provides extensive public access to election records: voter registration lists are public records available for purchase (though with restrictions on use), campaign finance reports are searchable online through the Florida Division of Elections website at dos.myflorida.com/elections for state candidates and through the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections for county and local candidates, and precinct-level election results are published after each election. In the November 2024 presidential election, Palm Beach County reported approximately 66% voter turnout with over 650,000 ballots cast from roughly 985,000 registered voters. On November 3, 2026, Lake Park and Palm Beach County voters will decide several significant races: Florida does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 (next Senate race is 2028), but there will be elections for Governor of Florida and the full Cabinet, all Florida House of Representatives seats (District 89 covers Lake Park), various Palm Beach County constitutional offices including Sheriff and Clerk & Comptroller, Palm Beach County Commission districts, School Board seats, and potentially Lake Park municipal offices depending on terms. Florida voters can request vote-by-mail ballots (absentee ballots) online at pbcelections.org or by calling 561-656-6200; requests must be made no later than 10 days before Election Day, and ballots must be received by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted.
