Delaware Launches First-of-Its-Kind Statewide Law Enforcement Recruitment and Hiring Initiative

Delaware Sets the National Standard for Modernized Police Recruitment with Guardian Alliance Technologies and All-Star Talent

CAMDEN, Del., Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Delaware Association of Chiefs of Police (DACP), in partnership with Guardian Alliance Technologies and All-Star Talent, proudly announces the official launch of its statewide recruitment and hiring initiative, an innovative program aimed at revolutionizing law enforcement hiring across Delaware. This first-of-its-kind initiative is now live at www.joindelaware.com.

Since the program's official launch on January 12th, it has delivered impressive results. In just three weeks, the campaign has attracted 2,380 qualified candidates who meet Delaware's minimum standards, with an additional 100 candidates joining daily. This success reinforces Delaware's position as a national leader in modernizing law enforcement recruitment.

Chief Rick McCabe, President of the Delaware Association of Chiefs of Police, emphasized the significance of this initiative:
"We have redefined the way agencies attract and hire officers, breaking down traditional barriers that have slowed the process for years. This partnership has not only improved efficiency but has also increased access for those looking to serve their communities in law enforcement."

U.S. Senator Chris Coons also recognized the initiative's impact, stating:
"Delaware has set the standard for how states should approach law enforcement recruitment in the 21st century. The collaborative effort between law enforcement leaders, technology innovators, and talent acquisition experts is a model the rest of the country can follow."

With national interest growing, Delaware Chiefs will present its findings and best practices at the upcoming SACOP Midyear Conference in Orlando, providing a roadmap for other states looking to modernize their hiring processes.

To ensure continued success and transparency, DACP, Guardian Alliance Technologies, and All-Star Talent will host a series of webinars throughout the year to discuss updates, share data-driven insights, and answer questions from agencies nationwide.
