The DeLand Police Department was pleased to be a law enforcement representative at an event Friday at the Consulate of Mexico in Orlando.

The agency hosted Day of Unity, an inaugural event in honor of Cesar Chavez, in partnership with the Mexican Chamber of Commerce, Migrant and Minority Alliance and the Florida Migrant Interstate Program.

DPD attended alongside the Volusia Sheriff’s Office and Pierson Councilwoman Sergia Cardenas. 

Our department values partnerships with these organizations and looks forward to continuing to work together to serve these communities.

Last summer, the Consulate of Mexico and the Michoacán State of Delegation made a stop at DPD headquarters as part of a working tour of Florida. 

Authorities from the state and Michoacán discussed agreements that will benefit Mexico, Florida and communities in West Volusia.
