Resume:  

Brandywine Hundred- On Monday, August 1, 2011, the Delaware State Police will be closing Troop 1-A located in the Brandywine Town Center in Wilmington, DE. The building, which was first opened in 1998, was utilized by the Delaware State Police as office space for the Retail Theft Unit, the Inspections and Accreditation Unit, as well as the New Castle County Crash Reconstruction Unit. It was also utilized as a satellite office for patrol troopers from Troop 1 located on Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, as well as a training facility.  The opening of the new Troop 2 on Pulaski Highway in Newark in 2002, allowed the Delaware State Police to combine all of these resources into a larger building shared by both patrol troopers and criminal investigators.  Troop 1-A was still utilized as a location for many community meetings.

After August 1, 2011 citizens who need to contact the Delaware State Police can respond to Troop 1 located at 603 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington.
