Georgetown, Del. — The future of two police memorials in Georgetown was a key topic at Monday night’s Town Council meeting, where community members strongly supported keeping the monuments at the Circle. The memorials honor Patrolman Chad Spicer and former Police Chief Harvey Gregg Jr. Earlier discussions had suggested relocating the monuments to the site of Georgetown’s new police station, after several accidents on the Circle damaged them.
Family members of both officers voiced their concerns, emphasizing the importance of the memorials remaining at the heart of the town. The family members argued that the location was central for the community to visit and honor the fallen officers.
Mayor Bill West acknowledged the safety concerns that led to the relocation discussions but assured the crowd that a solution would be found. He announced that the town would form a new Circle Advisory Committee, which would work with the families and residents to explore options for keeping the monuments in a safe location at the Circle.
