The DeLand Police Department is pleased to announce the graduation of ten of our Youth Cadets from the Central Florida Law Enforcement Explorer Academy this past Friday night!

This annual two-week academy is held every summer at Seminole State College and is sponsored by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Police Athletic League. During the two-week academy, explorers delve into the world of law enforcement with hands-on activities in the classroom, field trips, and learn leadership skills.

The annual academy is attended by various explorers and cadets from many law enforcement agencies across Central Florida. 

If you interested in learning about the Youth Cadet program, stop by DPD any Tuesday night at 7 pm to attend a meeting.
