established March 1968, revised January 1981 by Town Assembly
The Safety Committee, broadly speaking, handles safety issues. It replaces and installs stop signs, no-parking signs, etc., throughout the town. It acts as liason with the New Castle County Police, but it does NOT handle complaints or emergencies: those should be referred to the police. The Safety Committee works with County and State police forces, but only in an advisory capacity.
