The Kids and Cops Committee was established as an Advisory Board to the Commission in May 1994, with the adoption of Ordinance No. 20-94, amended November 2019 by the adoption of Ordinance No. 40-19. Its primary goal is to strengthen the relationship between the local youth of our community and members of the Delray Beach Police Department through various programs and activities. It is composed of representatives from the City's Police and Parks and Recreation Departments. Over the years, membership has evolved to include an "At-Large-Representative" which has provided the opportunity for interested residents to participate in the program. The City Commission directly appoints members to fill the "At-Large Representative" category. The other appointments are made by the various groups involved and presented to the Commission for ratification.
