Bayhealth Medical Center Constable

Bayhealth Medical Center employs Delaware commissioned constables as part of hospital public-safety staffing. Under Delaware law (Title 24, Chapter 56) and Delaware State Police Professional Licensing guidance, commissioned constables work for approved public or private entities—including healthcare institutions—to protect life and property in aid of full-service police agencies. Bayhealth’s organizational website is the public face of the health system headquartered in the Dover area; constable authority and training standards are set by the Constable Board of Examiners and DSP licensing rather than by municipal police charters.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Dover city, DE has an estimated population of 39,491.
