As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, the New Castle County Division of Police encourages everyone to enjoy the festivities safely and responsibly.
📜 Know the Law: Fireworks are regulated in Delaware. Please review the rules before celebrating: https://statefiremarshal.delaware.gov/investig…/fireworks
🎇 Leave Fireworks to the Pros: Attend a professional, licensed fireworks display.
And as always, celebrate smart:
🍻 If You Drink, Don’t Drive: arrange transportation early, designate a driver, or use a rideshare service.
🏠 Secure Your Home: Lock doors, windows, and vehicles before heading out.
🚘 Drive Safely: Stay focused behind the wheel. Avoid distractions and never drive impaired.
🐾 Protect Pets: Keep them indoors and away from loud noises or fireworks.
📞 Non-Emergency Assistance: To report illegal fireworks or noise issues, call (302) 573-2800. Keep 9-1-1 reserved for emergencies.
Let’s enjoy the 4th of July while keeping our neighbors, families, and community safe.
Happy 4th of July from all of us at NCCPD
