Clint Corey was born just outside of Boston, Massachusetts in 1977. The son of a car salesman and waitress, Clint moved with his family to South Florida in 1989. After graduating from Coconut Creek High School in 1995, Clint took college classes in the morning while juggling multiple jobs on afternoons and weekends.
In 1998, Clint was hired by the City of Coconut Creek as a 21-year-old Park Ranger. It was through this position that Clint first came to meet the residents of FIL as one of his responsibilities was to open City facilities for FIL dances.
Clint was promoted to Code Compliance Officer in 2001, and then Police Officer in 2004. During his time at the Police Department, Clint has held various positions including Road Patrol Officer, School Resource Officer, and Detective.
In 2010, Clint initiated the Police Department / FIL Roundtable Talk. These are monthly meetings in which Clint leads discussions on crime prevention and safe behaviors. An additional primary component of the meetings is to familiarize all residents and staff of FIL with all employees of the Police Department. This is accomplished by bringing in other Officers and staff on a regular basis. These meetings and relationship building events have undoubtedly created for a safer, positive, and trusting environment.
The Police / FIL relationship has evolved and grown over the years, and now also includes Field trips to City Hall, Special Olympic events, as well as the annual Police versus FIL Basketball Showdown, a crowd favorite. One of Clint’s proudest moments with FIL, was nominating FIL resident Joseph Benenati to become the 1st and only honorary Police Officer in Coconut Creek History (2017).
Clint lives with his wife, Ashley (a Coconut Creek Firefighter), and their teenage son and daughter in Palm Beach County. When not at work, Clint enjoys spending time with his family at sporting events and touring National Parks.
