One trend that stands out in this data is the increase in Part III offenses while serious crimes continue to decline.

Part III offenses are typically lower-level issues such as ordinance violations, traffic-related complaints, and quality-of-life concerns. While some may see these as “minor” problems, addressing them early is often what helps prevent more serious crime from taking hold in our community.

At the Millsboro Police Department, we believe proactive policing matters. When officers stay engaged with the smaller issues, build relationships with residents, and maintain a visible presence in our neighborhoods, it creates an environment where more serious criminal activity is less likely to occur.

The continued reduction in Part I and Part II crimes reflects the hard work of our officers, town staff, and community members working together every day to keep Millsboro safe.

Your feedback helps shape the future of policing in Millsboro and strengthens the partnership between our officers and our community.
