Dover’s Police Chief Selection Committee Meeting on Wednesday

The City of Dover will hold it’s Police Chief Selection Committee Meeting on Wednesday, February 1st, at 3 PM. It is open to the public. Discussions will revolve around the schedule and cost of the filling the position as well as a description of the police chief.

There has been some controversy regarding the hiring of a police chief. One of the main sticking points is that Dover has never had an African-American as a police chief. Deputy Chief Major Marvin Mailey is considered a candidate for the position. Mailey is an African-American but does not have a four-year college degree which was erroneously added to the job requirement that was “accidentally” released on Monster.com.
