During the weekend ending 06/25/2023, The News Journal/Delaware Online published an article by Shannon Marvel McNaught, titled “Is Fenwick Island’s police chief a victim?”

https://.wilmingtonnewsjournal-de-app.newsmemory.com/?publink=279a7caf6_134ac05

In the article, Fenwick Island Mayor, Natalie Magdeburger was quoted as saying “For years, member of Town Council and Town staff have had access to the Town’s police building through the use of a security door code.”

As previous Town Council members of the Town of Fenwick Island, we feel that Mayor Natalie Magdeburger’s statement is blatantly false. We have never had access to any security codes to enter the Public Safety Building, aka the police building, nor should we have had these codes. Any communication with the police chief and/or any meetings that required our presence in the Public Safety Building were arranged by prior communication with the chief for permitted entry to the building by him or a member of his staff while he was present in the building. Entries were always done during normal working hours when the chief was present, certainly not on a Sunday night at 9:30 with the police chief out of town, as Mayor Natalie Magdeburger’s actions were reported to be. It’s disturbing that Natalie Magdeburger, the Mayor of Fenwick Island, would make false statements in the press about previous council members to justify her late Sunday night access to the police building.
