“West” Boca Raton is WEST of Florida’s Turnpike; based on a previous post, shouldn’t this be “Central” Boca Raton? if you want to distinguish incorporated versus unincorporated, why not use the latter terminology? There are parts of the City of Boca Raton further west than the location in question.
Wrong. West Boca Raton, or unincorporated Boca Raton, is the jurisdiction patrolled by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
