You facts are correct Kathleen,
Since Chief Ackley was promoted in June 2009 - Close to 40…Read More Officers have left the department!
13 retired
22 went to other police departments
3 resigned or were terminated
Survey says...!
Instead asking about the nice artwork, lets ask why they are leaving...?!

Scotty B. If you know or even speak to any police officers or any NLPD employees you would know the…Read More reason why the officers are leaving. The police administration is terrible, no leadership at the top and a city administration and four city councilors driven to gut and destroy the police department. These well educated and ambitious young officers know that there is no career opportunity here in the Whaling City so they are doing what is best for themselves. You would do the same.

If anyone bothered to read the mayor's response above, the part that I could figure out and really…Read More concerned me was "The administration has also begun the process of using State LOCIP funds (at no cost to New London taxpayers) to install better lighting and security cameras throughout our City this year."
I do check out things before I write about them and I checked out his claim regarding the use of LoCIP (Local Capital Improvement Program)
No request has been made to the city council, as yet, for LoCIP funds for use as stated by the mayor.
I did think a headline in The Day today was interesting "UPDATED: NL cops use video surveillance, GPS coordinates to capture shooting suspect" and couldn't help but wonder if the information provided to the reporters was to support the mayor's claim that our city is safe regardless of the number of police on duty.
