Police Accountability Committee



The Delaware State Police Accountability Committee was established by the Office of Superintendent. This Committee was formed in accordance with the state of Delaware after House Bill 206 became law in 2023, which requires all police departments in Delaware to establish police accountability committees or boards. The goal of the Committee is to provide recommendations to the police and policymakers to improve policing in the State of Delaware and strengthen police/community relations.
