Exeter Township Police Department

Exeter Police are investigating reports of a shooting in the 4800 block of Deborah Drive. There is no threat to the public.

Our August numbers.

The Exeter Township Police Department is proud to announce that on Friday, September 25th, 2026, Lt. Sean Fullerton and Sgt. Rocco DeCamillo successfully completed and graduated from the prestigious Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command, Class #640.

The School of Police Staff and Command is a nationally recognized, rigorous 6-month training program in which the officers attend classes on subjects such as Law Enforcement Management, Budgeting, Human Resource Management, Risk Management, and Media Relations. The curriculum is taught by both academic and industry experts and reflects best practices in law enforcement standards.

Class #640 was attended by 25 supervisory personnel from 18 different agencies and represented an excellent opportunity for networking and intra-agency relationships.

The ETPD congratulates both Lt. Fullerton and Sgt. DeCamillo on a job well done!

Regarding the incident at the Exeter Township School District Homecoming event on September 24, 2026:

During the lighting of the Homecoming bonfire, an unexpected blast occurred, causing debris to be thrown from the area of the fire. At least one person was struck by debris and was evaluated at the scene.

We recognize how serious and frightening this incident was for the families and community members who witnessed it. We are thankful that the injuries reported at the scene did not appear to be serious.

Exeter Township Police officers were on scene when the incident occurred and immediately assisted with the response. We are currently working with the Assistant Fire Marshal to investigate and review the circumstances surrounding the incident.

We understand the community has questions about what occurred. Our focus is on conducting a thorough investigation and providing accurate information as that process moves forward.

Additional information will be released when appropriate.

Last night, we kicked off the 2026 Exeter Township Police Department Citizens Police Academy!

We have a great group, and opening night brought plenty of great questions and conversation. We’re looking forward to spending the next several weeks giving our participants a closer look at our department and the work our officers do every day.

We’ll keep you posted along the way.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the courage, sacrifice, and service shown by so many in the days that followed.

The Exeter Township Police Department was honored to be a guest at today’s 9/11 ceremonies at Exeter Township Senior High School and Reiffton School.

We remember those we lost. We honor those who answered the call. We will never forget.
