Some residents have turned to social media to ask for an increased police presence.
WPTV spoke with Smith about concerns over lighting in the area where the body was found.
"Some people in the community have emphasized they'd like brighter lights, and then there's some people in the community who say it's beautiful the way it is and leave it alone," Smith said.
The chief said there's a security camera in a nearby park, but he's open to adding more cameras.
He also told WPTV there's no need for added patrols.
Several walkers that WPTV spoke to said they feel safe around Pelican Lake.
"It is safe. I walk this lake many times at night and it's peaceful and beautiful," resident Maureen Cesdero said.
Smith said the ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Juno Beach Police Department, the county's medical examiner and the Jupiter Police Department's Crime Scene unit.
