This is GREAT news! Now it's time for the Judge's to do their job. maybe the Gov should re-think closing prisons.
If people want to act like wild animals, put them in cages.

I agree 100%, it would be time consuming, but it would be interesting to see how many convicted felons arrested with guns are kicked back onto Hartford's streets almost immediately with no accountability. They are not carrying these guns as felons with legal permits. They are carrying these guns with the intent to use them and committ another crime. The police can only do so much, now the courts need to do their part.

I may be wrong, but I believe probation and parole officers are also part of the Shooting Taskforce so that they can violate criminals caught up in the violence and get them back behind bars where they belong

Governor Malloy and Kevin Kane are the two reason"s the taskforce is operational. Why don't you explain how you think it came about

Mr. Brookman, I'm not questioning or doubting your information on how the task force came about, sounds accurate. The statement, give credit where credit is due, meaning the officers assigned to the task force who are doing the unbelievable work making the task force such a success, that's all.

I think I did that just by posting the information and saying the taskforce is making a big difference. I don't intend to name individuals, that probably wouldn't be the smartest move since they are probably impacting a lot of the criminal element in Hartford

Kevin its all about leadership in that unit. That same leader (420) was helping his guys in patrol accomplish those same goals 4 months ago. (S.S. for Chief.)

Does anyone really think the criminals in Hartford are reading this blog let alone picking up a book!

you might be surprised who reads this blog, but the point is that what the taskforce is doing is having an impact and the message is being sent to the streets that it is not open season in Hartford any longer as long as the task force remains in effect

S.S for chief??? Let's not get crazy. Altho a pretty good cop, he can't seem to stay away from the seedy night life and strip clubs. Make a few arrests and you seem to forget him using his beer muscles a couple years ago (with the assist of a buddy). Bitch move! Let's just congratulate the efforts of the team and their accomplishments without the extra unwarranted and ridiculous rhetoric. Stay safe guys.

The Shooting Task Force and The Fugitive Task Force = Success with no egos, just results.

The Gun Task Force is a great idea and it is about time that the criminals are afraid to do their jobs. Thugs, punks, convicted felons using firearms and gang members or wannabees all ruin the quality of life of the City.

It is real nice that politicians get some credit but I would really be inclined to give them a little more if they actually showed up during an operations, kept their mouths shut and saw what the police are able to do when the right resources are put together.
Politicians and police are not a real good mix because police have a specific job and noo ne can trust anyhting that comes out of the mouths of most politicians. They go for the flavor of the day.

Having a probation or parole officer would be a great addition to this group because their presence could streamline operations b/c they do not need search warrants to enter the homes of the aforementioned punks, thugs etc... and police can go with them to protect the them.

It is time for the polcie to get te job done, knock some heads in and rid the streets of violent felons and thugs. They are all punks anyway and when shown equal of greater force usually back into the corner like the roaches they are.

NOW the courts have to do their part? Really? How about the hundreds of guns that are seized by other divisions and patrol? Gun arrests are a big part of other divisions and patrol. Officers/Detectives take great pride in recovering firearms from criminals. Not that the shooting team aren't doing a good job, but they aren't the only ones making gun arrests. So it's safe to say that the courts haven't been doing their part for a Long time! Good Job HPD and keep up the good work, even though you are not being recognized for your efforts.

It's up to the COURTS (Judges) to put these miscreants away for a long time. Send a message to the other low-lifes that possession of an illegal weapon will not be tolerated!It's great that H.P.D. takes so many guns off the streets. It's NOT great when a Perp gets a fine or a slap on the wrist! PUT THEM IN JAIL! A fine or a slap on the wrist won't prevent a scumbag from acquiring another gun.
