The Dover Police Department has launched a new initiative to gather community feedback through an anonymous online survey designed to help improve their services to residents.
The Community Satisfaction Survey enables residents to share their honest opinions about the police department while maintaining their anonymity. Officials say the responses will help them better understand what the community needs and prioritize improvements to their policing services throughout the city.
Residents can weigh in on several key areas through the survey, including how well officers perform their duties, public safety concerns in their neighborhoods, staffing levels within the department, and suggestions for enhancing police services across Dover.
The online questionnaire will stay active for roughly 90 days while officials collect responses before analyzing the results.
This marks the fifth time Dover Police has conducted an online version of this survey, which they administer to meet standards set by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The department has previously conducted similar surveys as part of their ongoing accreditation process.
Community members can access the 2026 Dover Police Community Survey online to participate in this feedback initiative.
