Police Explorers

As a Delray Beach Police Explorer, you will receive extensive police oriented training in traffic stops, defensive tactics, firearms, report writing, and courtroom testimony. The Delray Beach Police Explorers are active within the community. Explorers are often called upon to assist in crime prevention & awareness. They attend homeowners meetings, vehicle anti-theft program meetings, Youth Fairs, and assist in the prevention of missing children.

Delray Beach Police Explorers provide assistance to the Community Patrol and the Investigative Division. Once qualified, you are issued a Police Explorer uniform and get to ride with Police Officers as well as provide security for special events.

If you are between the ages of 14-20 (and completed the 8th grade), are a full-time student with a GPA of 2.0 or above, and are in good standing with the community, the Delray Beach Police Explorers want you. Many Explorers are interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement but this interest is not required to be part of the program.

If you would like to join or donate to a worthwhile organization, please contact Sergeant Bill Smith at (561)243-7863 or smithw@ci.delray-beach.fl.us or Detective Michael De Bree at (561)243-6234 or debree@ci.delray-beach.fl.us
