Dover apparently one of the more dangerous cities for its size as new statistics show crime is on the rise in the state capital.
City police said they handled 4,500 more complaints this year--that's a rise of nearly 12 percent.
The number of murders though fell from seven in 2015 to just three last year.
Acting Police Chief Major Marvin Mailey attributed the drop to police taking more guns off the street.
Officials said the department's clearance rates for crimes including robbery, rape, burglary, and aggravated assault, remain higher than the national average for similar-sized cities. The Delaware State News reported the heroin epidemic has led to a to a five-year high in the number of drug offenses.
