The Dover Police Department is proud to announce the graduation of three recruits from the Delaware State Police Academy after completing six months of training. The new officers, who were officially sworn in by Dover Mayor Robin Christiansen on Monday, will begin in-house(Phase II) training at the Dover Police Department. The secondary training is designed to teach the new officers policies and procedures specific to the City of Dover Police Department. Upon completion, the new officers will begin a 10-week Field Training program where each will work with experienced officers during that time. Once each officer has satisfied their respective training requirements, they will be released to their designated patrol units.
