DELAWARE STATE POLICE OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Captain Thomas C. Logan
The citizens of Delaware hold the Delaware State Police
in high regard. Members of the Delaware State Police must
set the tone for all law enforcement agencies in our state.
The public expects members of our agency to act with
integrity, reliability and trustworthiness. To accomplish
and maintain the esteem placed upon its members, Delaware
State Troopers must acknowledge, uphold and revere the core
values of the Delaware State Police: Honor, Integrity,
Courage, Loyalty, Attitude, Discipline and Service.
The citizens we serve have an expectation that those who are
vested with the responsibility of enforcing the laws of this
state, as well as civilian employees, will hold fast to the
standards of professional and individual conduct to preserve
the respect, confidence and cooperation of society.
The public image of the Delaware State Police is, to a large
degree, determined by the way the Internal Affairs Office
responds to allegations of misconduct of its employees. The
Internal Affairs Office is an essential function designed to
maintain professional conduct, integrity and discipline of
each employee. Internal Affairs is responsible for
investigating allegations of misconduct and conducting
investigations to ensure compliance with Divisional rules
and regulations and the Code of Ethics. The Internal Affairs
office is readily accessible to citizens via telephone,
letter, Internet or in person.
In addition to its primary duties, the Internal Affairs
Office maintains an active role in training supervisors and
recruits. Supervisors are instructed on the proper handling
of citizen complaints and investigative protocol in
accordance with the Law Enforcement Officer’s Bill of
Rights. Recruits are also acquainted with the function of
Internal Affairs, including an overview of rules,
regulations and job performance standards.
In 2010, Captain Sean Moriarty, Lieutenant Roger Willey,
Lieutenant Thomas Logan and Ms. Elizabeth Seay were assigned
to the office. In May 2010, Ms. Seay retired from the
Division after thirty years of service. The Internal Affairs
office was very fortunate to have Mrs. Charlotte Stepnowski
join the team replacing Ms. Seay. In September 2010, Captain
Moriarty left the unit and was appointed Commander of Troop
4 in Georgetown. Lieutenant Logan was promoted to Captain
and assumed command of Internal Affairs. Additionally, in
September 2010, Lieutenant Tim Hulings was assigned to
Internal Affairs joining the team after serving at Troop 2
in Glasgow.
In 2010, the Internal Affairs Office investigated seventeen
citizen’s complaints and twenty-one administrative
complaints.
