The Delray Beach Police Explorers have been in existence for 26 years.  They meet at the Delray Beach Police Department, 300 West Atlantic Avenue, every Thursday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

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, 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.

If you would like to join or donate to a worthwhile organization, please contact Sergeant Bill Smith at (561) 243-7372 or send him an e-mail at wcsmith161@aol.com.
