If you are NOT following Cop2Cop. What are ya waiting fer?????. They get US, because they are US. We love their mission. Thanks friends.

Not all stress is bad. Some stress helps us grow, stay motivated, and perform at our best. The key is recognizing when stress is pushing you forward and when it’s becoming overwhelming.

Today, we join Delaware Capitol Police and FOP Lodge 11 in sharing our sincere thanks to the Delaware General Assembly for approving a resolution that shines a light on an issue that impacts first responders across our nation—su***de awareness and prevention.

House Concurrent Resolution recognizes:
🚒 September 24, 2026 – Firefighter Su***de Awareness Day
🚑 September 25, 2026 – Emergency Medical Services Su***de Awareness Day
👮 September 26, 2026 – Law Enforcement Officer Su***de Awareness Day
📞 September 27, 2026 – Telecommunications Su***de Awareness Day

These days serve as a solemn reminder of the brave men and women we have lost—not in the line of duty, but to battles that often remained unseen.
First responders dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others, frequently witnessing trauma, tragedy, and human suffering. The reality is that su***des among first responders continue to outpace line-of-duty deaths, highlighting the critical importance of mental health awareness, support, and access to resources.

The Delaware Capitol Police stand alongside our fellow firefighters, EMS personnel, law enforcement officers, and telecommunications professionals in honoring those we have lost and supporting those who continue to serve.

Yes, we are talking about you! Pointing your vehicle and burying the speedometer is not smart. Thanks Chatham PD for the great traffic safety reminder.

Great question!

Does it? Should it? How long should it take?

The ability to stay calm in chaos is part of what makes a great officer.
But eventually, you need a place to put down the armor.

The days you carry more than you should, call CopLine on your way home. We're here for the small stuff or a crisis. A retired officer is waiting to listen. No judgment, no reports, just someone who understands.

African American communities have celebrated Juneteenth for generations with church services, public readings, and festive gatherings. In 2021, it became the newest federal holiday in the U.S., but its roots run much deeper and are anchored in a long-standing struggle for freedom and equality. We proudly stand with all those seeking justice and liberty.

Thank YOU

Some days in Dover are better than others.

Yesterday was one of those days, when the legislature approved a measure raising awareness about the sad reality of su***de among first responders.

This Concurrent Resolution recognizes September 24, 2026 as Firefighter Su***de Awareness Day; September 25, 2026 as Emergency Medical Services Su***de Awareness Day; September 26, 2026 as Law Enforcement Officer Su***de Awareness Day; and September 27, 2026 as Telecommunications Su***de Awareness Day in Delaware.

House Concurrent Resolution states that:

— These days are set aside each year to remember the courageous lives lost not in the line of duty, but to silent battles too often fought alone.

— The number of su***des among first responders continues to outpace deaths in the line of duty, underscoring the urgent need to acknowledge the emotional toll carried by those who serve and protect our communities.

Veterans are trained to endure tough situations, but it can be difficult to reach out for support. If you know a Veteran who’s struggling, let them know about the resources available. www.VA.gov/REACH. Thanks Wilmington PD for the share.
