A few points; It is unfortunate that weekly protests have not been organized to demand the return of Officer DiGenova. That is the only way to get her back. Weekly protests at HPD headquarters parking lot.

As for the horse squad, it looks nice but I don't think it is very effective. You can't chase a car on horseback. The manpower is probably better used elsewhere. As for community policing, is what you are saying that there will be no more police officers attending NRZs? They do contribute much in the way of assurance to the community although I have always thought that they flipped a coin as to who would do the honors to calm the natives with low crime statistics. And also, NRZs have in attendance the same few folks and they represent such a minuscule portion of each community as to make them almost a private club.

As for political payoffs, I think you should elaborate a little on that, Kevin, if you have the dope on it.

Maybe Sarah Bronin has some more friends that need jobs, perhaps some of her friends didn't pass the bar and will resort to becoming Hartford Police Officers, Dog Catchers and CSO's ,Luke will fund these positions, when and only when Sarah says so!

Hey Luke, grow a pair!!!

Hey Hartford

the answers to those questions were decided back during the election and had nothing to do with the budget. Just wait for the Council's Resolutions, keep an eye on who sponsors them and you will have the answers to your questions.

Please. NO RJOke Resolutions! And if so check the spelling, she's a winner.

Deals cut to get elected and...
Luke is better for Hartford why?
Luke is different than Segarra how?
Luke's from where?
Luke wants to be Mayor for what?

Hartford fell for it, why????

As Kevin says, keep an eye on Council and the other Sheep.

RJoe may be impossible to have voted out in November. But Cynthia Jennings is possible. Remember she is on working party - not democrat. She is venerable. We would need to support the strongest republican or independent and bullet vote. It's possible but not probable since Hartford voters don't vote based on intelligence.

Public safety should not be cut at any cost. Hartford needs Community Policing. It is very effective and works for the small city of Hartford. However, politics always gets in the middle of the mix. For some time the HPD should and could have been hiring but politics got in the way again. Former Mayor Eddie Perez and Pedro Segarra you got caught. The capital city will suffer greatly because of Perez and Segarra's carelessness due to not promoting new HPD officer classes. Where did the two of you put the money. Maybe SAMA!

Great idea to bullet vote for a Republican and get rid of Jennings. She is the worse thing that ever happened to Hartford. She is clueless and dose not live in Hartford. Why doesn't anyone check her real address out? The findings will prove that she dose not live in Hartford. She lives in Windsor.

Ok, it's your project. Get the proof. If you know the address, try to photograph her car with the address of the house in the picture. Or knock on her door and ask her if she would consent to have her rugs cleaned by a super new vacuum cleaner for free as a test and make sure you tape record the conversation. Ah... But Miss Jennings is reading this and laughing but there are other ways of finding out. It could be made an issue in the upcoming elections.

The Mounted Unit should be kept in place. For Community Policing and positive citizen-police outreach that unit is best. No one doesn't like a horse and their popularity at events is high. The officers assigned, Flynn, Scates and Washington deserve to be kept in their unit.

The lessening of police officers working the streets will be a problem. I challenge anyone who wants to lower police numbers to take a walk in the Mather/Bedford Street, Enfield Street from Mansfield to Mather street area and see if they are comfortable. Or how about a nice weekend at the Five Corners intersection, maybe Barbour and Judson, the entirety of Martin Street. How about the law abiding citizens living there? Don't they need as much police protection as they can get?

Police numbers should never be cut. The police department and other city emergency services need to be a full strength. Its good for business and for public safety.
