How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Decide who the thank-you is for

    For a general thank-you to the whole force, address it to New Castle County Police's headquarters (below). To commend a specific officer, still send it to the force — but include the officer's name, badge or collar number, the station or division they work from, and the date and place they helped you, because officers rotate across shifts and stations and the force needs those details to identify them.

  2. 2

    Address it to the force

    First line: New Castle County Police. Second line: Chief of Police — Attn: Executive Officer. Then the address: 3601 N. Dupont Highway, New Castle DE 19720. New Castle County routes commendations through the Chief's office to the officer and their commander.

  3. 3

    Keep it a card or letter

    A card, a letter, or a class of children's drawings are perfect and easy to pass around a station. Add your return address if you'd like a reply. Don't send homemade food or baking — many forces can't accept it — and skip cash or gifts; the words are what matter.

  4. 4

    Write or upload your thank-you to PostPal with the address above prefilled. We print it, add your return address, and mail it for you — no printer, stamps, or post office run. It's an easy way to reach New Castle County Police from anywhere.
