Crime in Delaware - 5/26/2016
The crime in Delaware is mix. Delaware like the rest of the country has an Heroin Epidemic. sadly there is an obituary in the town paper of someone who overdosed.
Then of course of so many people addicted to this drug and others certain crimes happen a lot. Car break ins a lot. Home theft. Thankfully I have not heard of many being subjected to violent crime, say being stuck up. The town has a LOT of Sex offenders on probation now and the numbers seem to be growing. They are scattered around town. But the concentration of them seems to be around Lake and Central Ave. on East side of town. Do I feel safe in Delaware yes very much. Do I feel like my Children can move about throughout town. Yes. we have an excellent police force, who is out all the time. I have lived here 17 yrs and do not plan to leave this town on if the population keeps rising to much. Delaware still has a small town feel. I would move here. Welcome.

Delaware Ohio is a really great small town where old cars can cruise Sandusky St during the annual car show while families stroll along the street eating ice cream. The town still retains much of it's farming identity. Everyone looks out for everyone else. People care about each other and the land and they try to instill that in their children. Most kids who've grown up in Delaware participated in 4-H and took their animals to the Delaware County Fair. The town has a very simple very safe very family oriented

Delaware has a lot of good and bad things... - 5/19/2007
Some of the good things are the Delaware County Cultural Arts Center, the library, and some other things, and the bad things about Delaware are the schools. They can be good or bad depending on which school you go to. Dempsey Middle School can be good because the teachers are nice and the building is new and they offer a lot of extracurricular programs. But, it can be bad because of all the fights that happen in the hallways and the things that the people that go there do. It can also be bad because of the lack of disipline in the school, like if you get in a fight you only get suspended fot 3 days and then if you get in another fight you just get suspended for another 3 days, and nothing else will happen to you. You can getin 4 fights before the 2nd quarter is over and you still won't get thrown out. Well, enough about the bad things a few other good things about delaware are the Ohio Weslean University, and the small town feel.
