Dover, Delaware – Tonight, Thursday, September 27, 2018, a Town Hall Meeting on Police-Community Relations took place at the Whatcoat United Methodist Church located at 341 Saulsbury Road, Dover, Delaware.

This Town Hall was a collaborative venture with law enforcement and the community sponsored by the Delaware Chapter of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. All stakeholders supported creating an open, honest dialogue between law enforcement and communities across the State of Delaware. Our delegations of guest speakers were comprised of Law Enforcement Agencies which included Captain Joshua Bushweller of the Delaware State Police, Chief Harry Downes of the Delaware State University Police Department, Chief Marvin Mailey of the Dover Police Department and Captain John Treadwell of the New Castle County Police Department; all who helped guide the conversation towards inclusion for all, cultural sensitivity, building better relationships, respect for one another and finding common ground.

“I appreciate the opportunity to participate in the conversation between law enforcement and the members of the community we serve. This was another wonderful opportunity to engage in a healthy discussion with the citizens as to how we can better work together to make our communities safer and to foster an environment of mutual trust and respect.”
