At the City Council meeting on January 20th, we witnessed a stunning blow to government integrity  and a slap in the face to the Wilmington community. The resolution brought about by the City Council calling for a vote of no confidence in Police Chief Robert Tracy and the entire Wilmington Police Department (WPD) is disingenuous and not a reflection of how the community feels about the WPD.  The reality is that Chief Tracy and the WPD have helped to stem the shooting and violence that plague our city. The vote of no confidence should be focused on the judicial system that has allowed career criminals to be released to terrorize our community. Our city, the residents listed below, fully support Chief Tracy and each and every police officer of the WPD who have worked so diligently to curb violence in WIlmington through the gun violence epidemic, a global health pandemic and amidst widespread societal interruptions. The people of the City of Wilmington are expressing complete CONFIDENCE in Chief Tracy and the WPD, and we appreciate their efforts and are grateful our city has such dedicated civil servants. Additionally, Chief Tracy is extremely well qualified for the position of Police Chief, and has demonstrated a high level of expertise, dedication and commitment. He is deeply committed to the entire police force, his job as Police Chief and to the safety of the City of Wilmington. We, the residents of Wilmington, appreciate his efforts and are grateful that our city has been fortunate to have such an experienced professional leading the Wilmington Police Department.  The citizens of Wilmington deserve more from their elected leaders who care more about baseless, politically motivated attacks than helping to improve our city.  We call on the City Council to unite our city rather than divide us. We are stronger together!
