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.”
