Colonel William D. Crotty, Superintendent of the Delaware State Police, is proud to announce the promotion of Major Jeremiah Lloyd to the esteemed rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In his new role as Lieutenant Colonel, he will oversee all operations of the Delaware State Police and have direct supervision over the Office of Professional Responsibility, Office of Strategic Development, Information Technology, and Criminal Justice Information Services Security, Audit, and Training.
Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd brings a wealth of experience and a distinguished career to his new position. A 20-year veteran of the DSP, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership, accountability, innovation, and dedication in every role he has undertaken.
Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd earned a Master of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Homeland Security from Saint Joseph’s University in 2018 and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Wilmington University in 2004. He has exemplified a commitment to professional development throughout his career, having completed advanced training, including the prestigious FBI National Academy Session 284.
Most recently, in his role as DSP’s Administrative Officer, he oversaw a wide range of responsibilities critical to the success of DSP, including managing the division’s budget, training academy, human resources, transportation section, and victim services. These key areas reflect just a portion of his broad responsibilities, as he played a vital role in maintaining the division’s operational excellence. Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd led the initiation of a Crisis Intervention Team pilot program to focus efforts towards specially trained troopers being the primary responders to those suffering a mental health crisis.
Before joining the Executive Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Jeremiah Lloyd served as a Troop Commander at Troop 6 (Prices Corner), where he led the Troop while enhancing community partnerships, piloting advanced crime analysis technology, and successfully navigating the complex planning and relocation process of the new facility DSP recently opened in the Troop 6 area. He initiated proactive community outreach efforts with the Delaware Health and Social Services Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, increasing access to resources for underserved communities. These efforts have since been replicated throughout the state.
Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd also previously served as the Deputy Commander of the Troop 2 Criminal Investigations Unit in New Castle County, where he oversaw detectives and professional staff, improved investigative accountability, and spearheaded technology upgrades in their facilities. In his various roles, his efforts have contributed to advancing evidence-based policing strategies and fostering collaboration with academic and community partners. As a Lieutenant, he also played a pivotal role in establishing the foundation of the Real Time Crime Center when it was launched in 2017. Leading a team of crime analysts and criminal intelligence officers, Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd spearheaded efforts to develop innovative strategies for statewide crime and traffic reduction. He contributed to the implementation of an upgraded statewide information sharing system, oversaw a substantial grant focused on reducing gun violence, and enhanced the division’s operational communication with cutting-edge software applications. As a Sergeant and Trooper, Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd gained extensive experience in Criminal and Special Investigations, as well as patrol functions, primarily serving communities in Kent County.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd is deeply committed to community service. He has served on the Camp Barnes Board of Directors, the Appoquinimink School Safety Committee, and volunteered with Special Olympics Delaware. He has been a member of the Odessa Volunteer Fire Company since 1995 and has been a long-standing youth football and Little League coach.
“Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd has consistently demonstrated the vision, leadership, and dedication that define the DSP,” said Colonel William D. Crotty, Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. “His commitment to innovation, accountability, and community partnerships has strengthened our division and the communities we serve. I am confident that in his new role, he will continue to guide our agency with integrity and purpose, ensuring we remain at the forefront of public safety in Delaware.”
Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd’s leadership, vision, and steadfast dedication to public safety have made a significant impact on the Delaware State Police and the communities we serve. The Delaware State Police congratulates him on this well-deserved promotion and looks forward to his continued contributions in his new role as Lieutenant Colonel.

Delaware has launched the Blue Envelope Program, a new statewide community initiative designed to help drivers with autism and other disabilities navigate interactions with law enforcement more confidently and safely.
The Blue Envelope Program is a tool that drivers can keep in their vehicles to store important documents such as their driver’s license, registration, and insurance. It also includes clear communication tips for officers, instructions for drivers, and space to list emergency contact information and medical conditions that may impact behavior or responses.
The University of Delaware Center for Disabilities Studies reviewed and approved the envelope’s content and design to ensure it is inclusive and accessible to the disability community.
“This program is another example of how Delaware law enforcement is adapting to meet the diverse needs of our communities,” said Colonel William D. Crotty, Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. “The Blue Envelope Program helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures a safer experience for everyone involved in a traffic stop.”
“The Delaware Association of Chiefs of Police is proud to join the Delaware State Police, University of Delaware Center for Disabilities Studies, Delaware Office of Highway Safety, and Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles in supporting the Blue Envelope Program. This free initiative is designed to foster safe, clear, and respectful communication between law enforcement officers and drivers with autism and other disabilities. By providing a simple, visible tool that can be used during traffic stops or roadside encounters, the program helps reduce misunderstandings and encourages positive, informed interactions. The Blue Envelope Program is available to everyone. No qualifying questions are asked, and no identification is required to participate. It is our goal as an association to encourage all Delaware law enforcement agencies to participate in this initiative so that drivers across the state can benefit from consistent, supportive interactions,” said Chief Richard McCabe, President of the Delaware Association of Chiefs of Police.
“This program is a valuable addition to other statewide initiatives promoting the inclusion of Delawareans with disabilities,” explained Dr. Sarah Mallory, Associate Director of the University of Delaware Center for Disabilities Studies. Dr. Alisha Fletcher, Director of the Delaware Network for Excellence in Autism, added, “We are pleased to have the opportunity to support the state in learning about this valuable resource.”
The envelope outlines behaviors a person may exhibit, such as delayed responses, lack of eye contact, or use of a communication device. It also provides quick reminders for first responders to speak calmly, use simple language, minimize physical contact, and reduce background noise whenever possible. These prompts help create a safer, more supportive interaction from the start.
Drivers are encouraged to inform the officer that they have a Blue Envelope and present it when asked. The envelope also includes practical do’s and don’ts to help the interaction go smoothly.
The Blue Envelope Program is part of a nationwide initiative to promote understanding, prevent miscommunication, and support the safety and dignity of all individuals.
You can pick up a Blue Envelope for Delaware Drivers at any Delaware State Police Troop. Residents are also encouraged to contact their local police agency to find out if they are participating in the program. For more information, visit the Blue Envelope Program.
