The Delaware Association of Police was incorporated on June 6, 1942. Per our Charter:  "The members of various Police Departments of this State, convinced that it is to the best interest of our members, hereby unite under the name of the Delaware Association of Police, and believing that intelligence, industry and normal worth are the true standards of greatness, do hereby pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to promote sociability and fraternity among the members of this Association."

The Delaware Association of Police is an organization for Police Officers managed by active & retired Police Officers for the State, County, Town, City or Municipality.

In 1947 the Delaware Association of Police took over the derby from the City of Wilmington, it was being held for the children of the Police and Fire Departments, and opened it up to any child living in the State of Delaware, over the years the rules have changed to make it a better derby.

In the meantime you can reach us at 302-656-(PUSH)7874.

LOCATION FOR IMPOUNDMENT:
 
            The impoundment location for the 2010 DAP Pushmobile Derby will be at the
 Delaware National Guard, DuncanArmory at the New Castle Co. Airport.
 
            Because it is a military facility there are strict regulations that we are expected to follow while we are there. All adults must have picture identification with them at all times. Children (contestants & siblings) are not permitted to run around and play. Children must remain with their parents. There will be security at the gate to let people in and out. No vehicles can remain inside the gate for any extended period of time so for those who bring multiple cars, be prepared to drive in, unload your cars and drive out. You will not be able to get each car ready one at a time off your trailers or vehicles as you have in the past – you will have to unload them all, park your vehicle outside of the gate and then walk back through to prepare them for impoundment.
 
            ONLY THE DRIVER AND ONE ADULT CAN ACCOMPANY THE CAR THROUGH THE INSPECTION. Please be sure you have all needed information with you such as the contestant’s social security number, if we don’t already have it. We need to have a medical information form filled out (requested by the Ambulance Squad/EMT’s) on each contestant. This form will include any allergies to food or medications and an emergency contact person & number. So, if you are not the contestant’s parent or guardian and do not know this information, please get it before you bring the car and driver to inspection.
 
For New Drivers: (Impound Procedure is as follows)
 
1.      Check in – to make sure all registration information is complete & you will be assigned a car # which will be placed on your car, wheels, and dolly. (All cars must have a dolly to push them around on).
2.      Pictures – A picture is taken of you and your car for your plaque (which you will receive on awards night.
3.      Inspection of your racecar – you will move through a series of inspection areas where the officials will check for rule compliance and safety.

             The Derby Committee has changed the way we do winners, doing away with the over winners in the divisions and replacing with overall winners in each class there by not having to race A against B and C against D, leaving use with four over all winners.

There would be 16 winners, 4 in each class. The prizes have to be restructure would be doing away with the big prizes and putting this money into bonds.

The committee has come up with a way to change the Stock Cars into Super Stock, when your child out grows the Stock Car, the floor board would have to be drilled,  for axles and steering. The cost would be to purchase a Super Stock Shell and Super Stock Stabiler Bag. 

The committee has made a template for the drilling of the floor just bring to a meeting and it will be done, just let us know when you are coming, by e-mail dapderby@verizon.net or call the Push number 656-7874 leaving your name, or comment on this web site. Meetings are being held the first Wednesdays of the month at this time.

If you have comments please leave on website, or reply by E-mail dapderby@verizon.net
