Kevin,

No one will deny, even reporters that have been in this market for years, that you are the one to follow now and you have a great way of obtaining information. Also, no one can deny that your skills have brought accountability to City Hall, HPD and as yesterday showed, the Hartford Fire Department. Those that take the shots at you have probably either been someone that has felt your reach or is afraid of coming under your scrutiny. No one wants to be exposed for potentially being incompetent and messing up a homicide scene, but it happens

Don't apologize, keep doing what you are doing

Brackman,
The only officers who hate you are the ones who are manipulating the system . Lazy, pj driven, and cant even answer their radios. I have bad days too, but i do try to act professional when it comes to work. I dont park in front of the dept, or go and stalk the pj office. A lot of people here have lost their minds when it doing the job and use this blog as a target because it does reveal these scams and manipulations . This job is pretty simple, 99 percent of it is show up on time, in a uniform, and answer your radio. Most do that, but then the others blame the blog and others ...

kevin,

I can respect you didn't want to say who the commenter was, but can we say who it wasn't?
The other MCD supervisor Sgt. Brandon O'Brien had actually gotten off his butt and went to the other half of the scene and was supervising in Portland, unlike his counterpart who chose to stay in the office.

Kevin, you are doing a great job ! Don't let this stuff get to you, the way I see it, and probably many more feel the same, If the employees of any department for the City did their jobs, and did it without being shellfish, and greedy, then maybe it wouldn't have to be people like you keeping the rest of us informed of what is going on within the City, the honestly of some people working for the City isn't there anymore, and we need people like you Kevin to keep the City on its toes! Thank you for doing what you do, keep up the good work !

Anonymous Bad to the bone said...

Hey. I have a 100% true tale of insanity. Everyone respects bones, i do. The guy did his time and applied to glastonbury. He was patroling glastonbury two days after his retirement from hpd. A true cop and dedicated professional. I guess that occonnor tried to call glastonbury pd and prevent bones from going there because he wanted the job. That is straight up dirty. I would take an intoxicated blind man instead of dennis. I commend glastonbury for taking bones. He is a major loss for hpd and ert team. Its absolute silly that dennis thinks he is even in the same league. Its amazing. You really cant make a lot of these things up. But this one true incident did make me chuckle a little. Good luck bones.

Set up a 36 detail the next street over fron the glastonbury vfw. Its really simple when the drunks make it easy . Why has no internal investigation been started on the dennis using the term " revenge" in the booking facility in front of other officers ? I seem to remember a report was written on it ... As silly as it is. Its fact .

Oops I feel off the table while singing said,

I sure hope that they think about giving Foley, aka biggest scammer in all of HPD, a star in the near future. Hopefully Rovella will see through all of Foley's shenanigans and not even give it a thought. Kevin maybe you should talk to some of the real Detectives in MCD and they'll tell you how Foley has created such a hostile environment up there. MCD used to be the place to be but once Foley arrived he drove out some great detectives and brought in the ones with no time on the job just because they were able to do work on his new house.

I don't think I need to defend Lt Foley, but if I recall correctly, Foley was not in MCD when his house was built, he was still a zone LT.As far as the way MCD is run, I think they are well above the national average for the percentage of cases cleared, especially homicides

Drove out some great detective's as you say? Or, got rid of the turds that couldn't close a case and preferred to be out drinking and partying all the time when working at night?
The nerve of Foley to break up the party!!!

Anonymous Weaver sucks said...

Let's not forget the point of this article. Weaver sucks, he's a lazy bum. He always has been. He's been taking credit for what Javi DeJesus did years ago for capturing Brian's killer. Weaver did nothing but took credit. As humble as Javi is, he's never spoke the real truth about Weaver doing nothing that day. Time for Foley to bounce Weaver, shoulda been done long ago. Give him a taste of patrol, which he's never had!

Here we go with the silly train. Why does everyone think patrol is the red headed step child of a catholic amish family? I cant wait for capt/ chief joe to hit the streets soon. Then he will lead us like william wallace !! As for weaver and foley go, weaver knows how to do all that computer stuff. He is lazy at times, but a wealth of knowledge. As for foley. He does do a good job speaking to the media. But he supervises through back stabbing. You must earn the respect not write up your best major crimes detectives. He also pushed out the cream of the crop. Mui Who cares if he worked pjs Foley did.
Who cares if poma talks trash. Foley does.
No one opened a case when foleys brother in law defaced an major crimes roll and wrote a homo sexual comment refering to a sgt and detective. Where is that investigation? Yah. That item / evidence is still around brian. That would not be good for a star .....

Check how many detectives double as private contractors and did work on foleys house. I bet no permits were pulled. Leave weaver alone. He volunteers to help blind children learn the internet ..

Mr. Brookman,
These comments are a clear reflection of what is wrong with our department. Instead of striving to improve themselves as officers in an attempt to be recognized our officers would rather trash talk the select individuals who have demonstrated investigative proficiency. To the underachiever trash talking the gifted investigator with enough mental capacity to master two careers, I feel the need to remind you of an interesting fact. Lt. Siegersmith was the acting commander of M.C.D when that particular detective was brought into MCD. Since you have already demonstrated why you are overlooked for an investigative assignment (yes it is obvious you are a poor investigator or you wouldn't make uniformed statements) I will also clear up what is certain to be your next idiotic post. His brother was brought up there under LT. Hawkins. Rather then trying to bring our department down to your level you should strive to rise to the level of our higher achievers.

What difference does it make?... The point is they are doing a descent job and are clearing cases. The work gets done regardless who's the Lt or the shenanigans he was up to

Beaner stop please.......how's that grab me? I was working also.....and? I know the truth. Is "vet" detective for veterinary detective? Stick to closing burglaries, not that you've ever closed one as of yet.
