The Human Resources Section is under the command of Captain Monroe Hudson. The Section consists of five uniform officers and twelve civilian employees. The primary function of the Human Resources office is to ensure the effective use of personnel to accomplish organizational goals. The office has consistently provided professional and compassionate services and resources in an effort to sustain a workplace that serves to improve the employee’s quality of life thereby increasing retention rates and becoming an employer of choice.

The Human Resources office provides services including but not limited to the recruitment and selection of uniform officers and civilian employees, collective bargaining and contract negotiations for the DSTA and CWA unions, affirmative action and equal employment opportunity, employee assistance programs, promotional processes, career development, physical fitness standards/weight management program, payroll and benefit administration, workers’ compensation, leave tracking and overtime accounting.

The recruit selection process includes a rigorous screening continuum consisting of written testing, oral board examinations, physical fitness testing, polygraph examinations, intensive background investigations, and psychological screening. The recruitment and selection process is overseen by the Assistant Director of the office, Lieutenant Alice Bailey. Lieutenant Bailey also oversees the Cadet program that affords Delaware college students an opportunity to become a uniform officer who enforces handicap and fire lane parking violations.
