Delray Beach’s interim police chief, Darrell Hunter, was appointed on Aug. 20 by City Manager Terrence Moore to the permanent position leading the department he has been a part of for nearly two decades.
Hunter began his career with the Police Department in 2007. He became a sergeant in 2014, a lieutenant in 2017, a captain in 2020, and an assistant chief in 2025. He worked in community patrol, community response and the investigative division, where he served as a detective specializing in property and white-collar crimes.
“I am deeply honored to lead the men and women of the Delray Beach Police Department and to serve this incredible community,” Hunter said. “Guided by our core values of P.A.C.E.—Professional, Accountable, Consistent, and Engaged — and our unwavering standard of excellence, I am committed to fostering a department and community built on trust, integrity, and safety.”
