We serve as the primary police department for the "Nation's Summer Capital"; a name given to Rehoboth Beach due to the number of visitors from our Nation's Capital and surrounding vicinities. Delaware is home to many of America's finest beaches and I am proud to announce that Rehoboth Beach is also a "Blue Wave" Beach. Since 1998, the Clean Beaches Council has aimed to identify the nation's cleanest, safest, and most environmentally well-managed beaches. In order to certify, beaches must meet the program's criteria in the following areas of responsible management; water quality, beach and inter tidal conditions, safety, services, habitat conservation, public information/education, and erosion management. On behalf of the men and women of the Rehoboth Beach Police Department, I invite you to take a few minutes of your time and visit the various units on our web site. The Rehoboth Beach Police Department adheres to a series of well defined policies and procedures implemented to ensure the highest level of service to our community. The information offered here is informative and often beneficial for those visiting our resort town for the first time.
