DELAWARE CAPITOL SECURITY
The Delaware Capitol Police performs many different functions in localities throughout the state. The mission of securing specific state facilities is a difficult task. To meet the expectations of the state the division employs individuals as "Capitol Security Officers".
These are non-sworn members of the Delaware Capitol Police. The security officers operate the magnetometers and x-ray machines at the entrances to the courthouses, Legislative Hall, and the Carvel State Building. They are responsible for the screening, and if necessary the searching, of employees, visitors, and packages entering the courthouse.
Capitol Security Officers are trained in the use of magnetometers, x-ray machines, handcuffing, defensive aerosol sprays, and certified in performing CPR, using AED's (automatic external defibrillator), and providing First Aid.
The Capitol Security Officers are an essential part of the division's mission to provide the state with a safe and secure work environment.
