A Wilmington police department dispatcher came forward about serious misconduct and retaliation within the Wilmington Police Department — and paid the price for speaking the truth.

After raising concerns about possible misuse of sensitive NCIC records and unfair treatment on the job, this dispatcher faced months of hostility, discrimination, and a pattern of write-ups that appeared retaliatory. The situation escalated when she reported these actions to internal departments and state agencies. Instead of support, she endured retaliation — including loss of pay, denied leave, and public humiliation.

The stress and retaliation eventually took a severe toll on her health and well-being, leading to a pregnancy loss shortly after repeated denials of schedule accommodations. No employee should suffer personal tragedy because their employer ignored basic compassion and fairness.

The employee eventually reached out to multiple oversight agencies, including the EEOC, the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General, and the Office of Special Counsel. The story highlights what appears to be deeper systemic issues inside Wilmington’s city government — where whistleblowers often feel silenced instead of protected, and retaliation appears normalized.

This petition demands transparency and accountability from the City of Wilmington and the Wilmington Police Department..Citizens deserve to know how public employees are being treated behind closed doors — and to ensure that confidential systems like NCIC are never misused or left without oversight.

Sign and share this petition to call for:

• A full independent investigation into the retaliation and NCIC misuse claims.

• Stronger whistleblower protections for Delaware public employees.

• Oversight from federal agencies to ensure these patterns stop for good.

No one should lose their job, their peace of mind, or their health for telling the truth.

Justice doesn’t start in silence — it starts when someone finally listens.
