The Wilmington Police Department is excited to announce that Community Resource Fairs will be held monthly at locations throughout Wilmington! This series follows the inaugural fairs hosted in three City parks in September 2022, and builds off of past successes with National Night Out celebrations. These events are designed to invite the public to interact with police officers from various divisions and units on hand to interact with the public - as well as an increased number of outside partner agencies and organizations that serve the City of Wilmington and its residents.
