Camden, Delaware – The Delaware State Police Troop 3 Administration, led by Captain Rodney Layfield conducted a “Year in Review” in the Corporal David B. Pulling Memorial Community Room, located at 3759 South State Street, Camden, Delaware.

The Administration at Troop 3 was privileged to host a meeting where the public was provided with an overview of the great work done by the men and women of Troop 3 in 2019.  The central conversation focused on the State Police functions, duties and responsibilities Troopers handle on a daily basis. Also discussed were rates of crimes, crashes and investigative clearances in Troop 3’s jurisdiction in addition to their community outreach initiatives.

Troop 3 achieved a 70% clearance rate in robberies, a 47.8% clearance rate in burglaries, and a 51.5% clearance rate in thefts.  These clearance rates simply exemplify the exceptional work the Troopers are doing and demonstrate their desire to solve crimes when they occur.  When examining collisions, the overall total of crashes decreased by 3.3%, and a decline in fatal crashes by 18.2%.

We truly appreciate and thank all those in attendance, including; Senator David Wilson, Senator Trey Charles Paradee, Representative Lyndon Yearick, Kent County Levy Court Commissioner at Large Terry Pepper, and Fifth District Kent County Levy Court Commissioner George “Jody” Sweeney.   

“The Delaware State Police Troop 3 Year in Review was an excellent opportunity to share public safety initiatives and community outreach objectives with those we serve. In addition, it allowed me to highlight the accomplishments of the hard-working men and women of Troop 3. It is truly an honor to work alongside everyone here and I want to express my heartfelt thanks for their exceptional efforts and hard work they do every day for a safer Delaware,” said Captain Rodney Layfield, Delaware State Police Troop 3 Commander
