Anthony Griffin – Dover Police Department

In August 2020, Officer Anthony Griffin engaged in sexually explicit text exchanges with a woman involved in a domestic violence incident he was investigating. He assured her that her case would be dropped. Additionally, Griffin accessed the Delaware Criminal Justice Information System without a departmental purpose to obtain information on the woman and the complainant. Previously, Griffin had been disciplined with a 480-hour suspension, demotion from corporal to patrolman first class, and a two-year probationary period for repeatedly visiting a woman’s home in his patrol car while on duty.

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
