Community Engagement
The Delaware State Police Community Engagement Unit was developed to foster positive relations with our communities in the First State as well as provide training and presentations to members of our community. The Delaware State Police believes our commitment and dedication to building partnerships and relationships with the residential and business communities across Delaware will only enhance our ability to be a highly effective law enforcement agency. Building stronger and safer neighborhoods fostered on trust of the Police. In an effort to achieve this, DSP maintains a presence in our communities’ schools, places of worship, neighborhood associations and civic organizations. By reaching out to communities in our jurisdiction in an open and honest fashion, we will build positive relationships and help to create safer communities and foster open dialogs on challenging issues and perceptions facing law enforcement and the communities we serve.
