The Delaware State Police is aware of recent sightings of potential drone activity throughout the state.  The operation of a drone is a legal activity.  If there is an occasion that you find a drone in a suspicious area or the appearance of suspicious activity, the Delaware State Police is asking that these events be reported to our Delaware Anti-Terrorism Tipline at 1-800-FORCE-1-2.  Reporting these events in this manner will allow experts to evaluate the details of the event for proper action.

Important Reminders About Drones

  • Shooting at aircraft, including drones, is illegal.
  • Many legal aircraft, both manned and unmanned, have lights visible at night. Drone flights after dark are permitted under certain conditions.
  • Before reporting, consider using free resources such as FlightAware, Flightradar24, and ADSBexchange to help identify aircraft that may appear unusual but are operating legally.

How You Can Help:

  1. Capture clear video evidence, if safe to do so.
  2. Record specific details, including the sighting’s date, time, duration and location. Also note the size, movement, and unique features of the object.
  3. Report promptly to the Delaware Anti-Terrorism Tipline for further investigation.

What to Do if You See a Drone on the Ground

  • Stay at a safe distance.
  • Call 911 immediately.

Your vigilance ensures that reports are directed to the appropriate agency, helping law enforcement focus on critical incidents and maintain public safety. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping Delaware safe.
