Before <?php if(is_array($dept)){ foreach($dept as $depts){ ?>

add <option value="all">All</option>

Sometimes the easiest solutions are the least apparent ;)

Note: you could make it so that (with js) when the "all" option is selected the rest are deselected for better ui but it really doesn't matter. On the backend you can just have a condition checking for all as selected and disregard the rest that are selected (because you have multiple enabled).
