Darby Township made history as they welcomed their new police chief.
Regina Price was sworn-in as the first black female police chief in Delaware County Wednesday night.
Price recently retired from Florida's Riviera Beach Police Department after 30 years of service and was chosen for the position following a national search.
Price began her career in 1986 with the Riviera Beach Police Department. She was nominated for Police Officer of the Year several times, and was named Officer of the Year by the Minority Law Enforcement Council of Palm Beach County.
Retired Assistant City Manager for Riviera Beach, Gloria Shuttlesworth, spoke of Price saying, "Regina is up to the challenge. She may not do what others think is popular, but she will do what's right to build a better police department."
Price is a member of multiple groups, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Florida Police Chief's Association.
The ceremony took place Wednesday night.
