Chief of Police
Milford Police Department, Delaware
Chief Cecilia Ashe is a 27 year veteran of law enforcement who is the Chief of Police in the City of Milford Police Department. Prior to her appointment, she worked at Wilmington Police Department in Wilmington, DE for 17 years, where she was assigned as the Inspector of Operations.
Chief Ashe was instrumental in the development and implementation of Wilmington Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center, which was the first in the State of Delaware. Additionally, she went on to develop a Crime Gun Intelligence Center within WPD in partnership with ATF. As a result this center has produced hundreds of NIBIN leads in firearms investigations.
Based on her work in this field, Chief Ashe was accepted into the National Institute of Justice’s Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS) Program in 2019. She has most recently been recognized for her leadership, oversight and strategic planning while implementing Group Violence Intervention. This resulted in an over 58% reduction in homicides and nearly 30% reduction in shooting incidents, while simultaneously reducing citizen complaints against officer by over 22% by the end of 2022 within the City of Wilmington.
