 Moving on, the Rehoboth Beach Police Department is down to only 10 seasonal officers, or as they call them, cadets, this summer. That is three fewer than last year, but just a fraction of what the city had in past years. The department was authorized to hire 20 this summer. To his knowledge, Chief Keith Banks says this year the city has the fewest number of seasonal officers ever. In 1989 and many years in the 90s, we had 32 seasonal officers, he added.
