On August 27, 2024, at approximately 3:36 PM, the Dover Police Department received a call from an individual in Albania, reporting that their brother’s boat was sinking in the English Channel off the coast of Dover, England.  The caller had conducted an internet search for the “Dover Police Department” and the first search result on the screen proved to be the Dover, Delaware Police Department.  The family member thought they were calling Dover, England but was connected with our agency here in the United States.
