On behalf of everyone at the Wilmington Police Department, I thank you for visiting our website.
As stewards of public safety, our work is rooted in a tradition of unwavering service—forward-looking, yet grounded in the values that have always defined us. At the core of every action we take are three guiding principles that shape who we are:
- Compassion—for our residents, our colleagues, and the challenges they face.
- Commitment—to upholding the law, delivering fairness, and delivering on the trust the community places in us.
- Respect—for every individual, every life, and the community we are sworn to protect.
These values are not mere words; they are the standards we hold ourselves to every shift, every call, every interaction.
Wilmington is more than the lines on a map, it’s a community of real people with hopes, concerns, and expectations. My promise to you is direct: we will listen, respond, and work shoulder to shoulder to keep our community safe and thriving. We stand ready to serve with open ears, steady hands, and resolute minds.
Thank you for placing your trust in us, and may we continue to earn it every day.
Chief Brian Pupa
