The year began under the leadership of now Retired Deputy Chief Timothy Stump who served a year as the Interim Chief of Police. He is a gentleman who was a great steward of this agency and his support of my arrival and orientation was absolutely invaluable. As you are aware, I began my tenure on February 14th in a year that produced so many challenges for the City and our Nation. During that time, I can report that the Dover Police Department took very good care of its business, and began a transformative journey, in conditions not previously encountered in modern public safety service. It is my judgement that the hard work of all the Dover Police employees has put us on a path to an improved condition of public safety and to serve as a leading example of what a 21st Century Policing agency lookslike. Yours in Service, Thomas A. Johnson, Jr. Chief of Police DPage 6 Item #1.

JOHNSON, JR. BECOMES CHIEF OF POLICED The Dover Police Department swore in its 15th Police Chief during its 95th year of faithfully serving the City of Dover. The ceremony was held on February 13, 2020 at Dover Police Headquarters inside the James L. Hutchison Public Assembly Room. Chief Thomas A. Johnson, Jr. took the Oath of Office with Mayor Robin R. Christiansen as his wife Janice held the same bible that has been used to swear in each Officer of the Dover Police Department. Chief Johnson is only the second Police Chief in agency history to be hired from outside the ranks of the Department. The first occurred on May 16, 1949, when Mayor William J. Storey recruited James E. Turner, Sr., a Major with the Delaware State Police, to serve as the Chief of Police. He held the position for over 18 years.

    July 1, 2019 Michael T. Scuse, Secretary Delaware Department of Agriculture 2320 South DuPont Highway Dover, DE 19901 Dear Secretary Scuse: The Delaware Forest Service greatly appreciates your continued interest and support of our programs. This Annual Report outlines our many accomplishments in FY19. Our mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance Delaware’s forests through education, management, and professional assistance. For the last ten years we relied on Delaware’s 2010 Forest Action Plan as a guide to our continued success. In the past fiscal year we began the process of updating this plan for 2020 and it will reflect evolving issues, threats, and opportunities facing Delaware forests. During this process, we will rely on the assistance of numerous partners throughout the state, further strengthening the bonds with agencies having similar interests in conserving this valuable natural resource. Healthy forests should be considered an integral part for Governor Carney’s initiative of a healthier Delaware. Revitalizing the state’s forest products industry will also play into his initiative of strengthening Delaware’s economy. The natural benefits of Delaware’s forests cannot be overlooked and the Delaware Forest Service is committed to protecting this vital natural asset. Our foresters are dedicated to the task of providing timely and professional forestry services upon request. The success we enjoy in forestry would not be possible without the Department of Agriculture’s continued support and the generous support we receive from the John Carney administration, the General Assembly, and the U.S. Forest Service. Healthy forests benefit everyone. Accordingly, we are dedicated to protecting this precious natural resource.
