  • State Police Report for State Highway
    STATE POLICE REPORT CALENDAR YEAR 1955 FOR STATE HIGHWAY REPORT FISCAL YEAR 54-55 July 1, 1955 To the Chairman and Members of the State Highway Commission Dover, Delaware Gentlemen: I respectfully submit herewith a report of th eactivities of the State Police Division for the calendar year 1954. The report includes the important items in each of the State Police Divisions. The excellent support and assistance rendered by the members of the State Highway Commission is sincerely appreciated. Very truly yours, COLONEL HARRY S. SHEW Superintendent 155 ADMINISTRATION and ORGANIZATION The Executive Division of the Delaware State Police was broadened to include an additional Major, known in the organization as a "Field Force Commander". The increased responsibilities of the Superintendent and the Executive Officer left them little time for personnel problems. Realizing the importance of these problems and of an annual interview with all members of the Department, the Commission authorized the rank of Major, assigned as ~ield Force Commander, in charge of field activity and per­ sonnel problems. On July 15, 1954, Captain Frederick K. Lamb was promoted to the rank of Major, and assigned to this position. It is felt that the work of the Field Force Commander will be a great benefit to morale, and will create a closer liaison between the Executive Division and the field. On May 15, 1954, the Diamond State Telephone Com­ pany completed the installation of a 7-station inter-Depart­ mental teletype. The installation of the teletype system with­ in the Department has accomplished many things. There is much closer contact between the State Police and the Motor Vehicle Division (in whose office a teletype machine was also installed), in the furnishing of licensing and registration information to the field.

    State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing EDWARD A. GLADSTONE and THOMAS W. COOPER, U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, Office of Planning •CONCERN FOR the safety of the motoring public, and the importance of the state police organizations in enforcing traffic and safety laws, was voiced by the governors of most of the 47 states in which the legislatures met in regular session in 1965. In state after state the governor's message emphasized highway safety and pointed to the need for additional highway patrol troops to curb highway accidents and fatalities. In at least 30 states requests were made for an increase in patrol strength, either by the governor, by legislative committees, or by safety agencies. Collectively, specific requests were made in 21 states for nearly 3, 800 troopers to be added to the patrol strength within the next onP. to four years. A summary of the requests (as of mid-1965) is given in Table 1. If approved, these requests would increase patrol strength by an average of 23 percent.

Our Mission Statement is “To enhance the quality of life for all Delaware citizens and visitors by providing professional, competent and compassionate law enforcement services.” In 2008, through the collabora- tive and synergistic efforts of DSP personnel and our partners throughout our communities, we had another successful year. Under the leadership and support of Governor Ruth Ann Minner, Secretary of the Department of Safety and Homeland Security, David B. Mitchell and the members of our General Assembly, we had the necessary tools, equipment and foundation to provide efficient and effective services. Last year, many distinguished achievements were accomplished across the state that resulted in a better quality of life for those we serve. For example, our highways were safer in 2008 than in 2007. The number of fatal crashes involving alcohol dropped from 45 in ‘07 to 37 in ‘08, an 11% decline. Moreover, we observed a reduction, how- ever slight, in the number of fatal crashes overall. In addition to the enforcement aspect of policing, in 2008 DSP undertook a community outreach project aimed at helping Delaware citizens in need.
