Delmarva Law Enforcement | News and Notes September 2020

Our main focus is on law enforcement agencies across the Delmarva Peninsula, a unique area of the Mid-Atlantic which spans fourteen counties across three states, Delaware and the eastern shore portions of Maryland and Virginia.

Our "news & notes" is a semi-monthly roundup of articles of interest, news items and recent events from our local area. In addition we often include links and stories from other states which we felt were important to share.
