Purpose
The Police Accountability Committee is established by Delaware House Bill 206 and Title 11, Chapter 84, requiring all Delaware police departments to establish police accountability committees or boards (PACs).
Scope of Work
- Provide advice to police departments on policy, training, and other issues relating to or affecting the department and the communities served by the department.
- Create greater transparency, information gathering and sharing, education, and community engagement.
- The PAC serves in an advisory capacity only. The PAC is not empowered to impose or overturn any BBPD-issued discipline or to promulgate or amend any BBPD policy or procedure.
- Non-officer PAC members are required, within one year of appointment, to complete 20 hours of community training with the Bethany Beach Police department.
- Suggestions/recommendations regarding ways to enhance the operations of our police department are welcome and should be sent to PAC at PAC@townofbethanybeach.com.
