As Downtown Dover moves toward its 2030 revitalization goals, the police department is looking ahead with a vision for meeting the city's growing demands. Last week, Chief Thomas Johnson presented to City Council, emphasizing what the department needs, the resources it requires, and its top priorities for the years ahead.

Dover remains under a State of Emergency weeks after a potential cybersecurity breach raised concerns about the security of its networks. With thousands of residents, multiple city departments, and critical infrastructure at risk, officials say they are taking no chances.

The Dover City Council voted 8-1 Monday night to approve ordinances establishing strict regulations for marijuana businesses, paving the way for the industry within city limits.
