Delray Police Chief

DBPD’s Honor Guard presented colors at the agency’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch. DBPD has 220 active volunteers, saving the city about $400,000 in payroll each year.

We had a great time today at the @CityDelrayBeach's St. Patrick's Day Parade which was hosted by @DelrayBeachFire. It was amazing to see such a jubilant crowd gather for the celebration! #stpatricksday2019

Going to the Delray Beach St. Patrick's Day parade today? If you're planning on drinking, make your transportation plan is in place before you have your first sip. Uber? Lyft? A cab? A friend? Whatever you decide works for us. Slainte! Stay safe, Delray Beach! #NeverDriveImpaired

Drinking on St. Patty's Day? There will be lots of DBPD officers on duty. Use a ride share service. It's much cheaper than a DUI, the consequences of which can last a lifetime, and a DUI conviction will stay on your driving record for 75 years. #NeverDriveImpaired #StPatricksDay

Tomorrow is the big day! Don’t miss the 51st Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in #DelrayBeach! The parade starts at 2:00 PM, but get there early for the best spot! #Delray #stpaddysday… instagram.com/p/BvCBZ5KAZma/…
