The audacity of tj to say anything. Didn't the city recently pay out 6 figures for his lack ("void") of morality???

You mean they will actually get investigated instead of promoted? No way! Only the minority and female officers receive discipline that lasts their entire career.

HPD is only good for one thing and that’s training quality minority and female officers for other police departments.

How stupid is councilman James Sanchez publicly calling for a parallel investigation by the State’s Attorney’s Office? In his own words since this despicable conduct has tarnished their office as well. Is he really that uneducated to realize there’s clearly no violation of law/state statute? Yes, I said stupid, because his public statement is pure stupidity.

Congratulations “Chief” Thody as being nationally recognized as the complete failure that you have always been.

Jason Thody gets drunk, smashes a $70 thousand dollar city owned Tahoe and Luke and the city counsel allows him to remain as chief of Police.

The selected outrage and hypocrisy of city hall is unbelievable. The amount and frequency of homicides in the City of Hartford doesn't seem to get their attention; the daily non stop shot spotter activations seems to be okay with them too; rampant drug dealing, crack heads at each on/off ramp panhandling, and an unusually high number of fatal motor vehicle accidents in the last few years doesn't even seem to be on their radar. An off color joke by an officer or detective? Well that deserves a full court press. Their priorities are all f&#*ed up! What a bunch of mediocre hacks.

Kev, Thank you for including in this post the need for a “ Real EAP” program . Kev, after getting lied to by my EAP officer assuring me confidentiality with a issue this EAP officer went and blabbed my concerns to everyone at the top down to the bottom in HFD including my union president ,,, there’s a true statement we use at HFD regarding gossip ,,, “TELEPHONE, TELAGRAPH, TELL A FIREFIGHTER” , I want to add “ TELL A HFD EAP OFFICER” .... since it’s creation in HFD there has ALWAYS been a co-worker placed in this position. I don’t care how nice or educated these people are THEY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED OR EFFECTIVE HELPING CO-WORKERS THEY KNOW!!!! Their should be no “liaison” related to a program that’s supposed to be confidential . Look up how USPS implements it’s program, it’s a common sense approach that has a element of safe secrecy for those who reach out for help. HFD AND HPD are a joke in providing a “real EAP program” . There should be a law in place preventing employers from having access to an employees personal issues . HFD and HPD has had their share of suicides ,domestics,arrests,alcoholics,drug abusers etc and we’ll never know how many of them could have been prevented if they had a chance to comfortably reach out for help. Happily I’m retired and when faced with a stressful personal matter I relay my concerns to my cat , at least I can trust him more than any HFD employee assigned to EAP. Oh I almost forgot to mention this important fact ,nearly every EAP rep for HFD had or have a alcohol,drug and/or mental health issue themselves, you can’t make it up people.

John kennelly -oh I mean the Dtc -did this press release and I do not think it was sent to the Courant . Is the Dtc the boss of the council ? And why is Thody so protected ? And can we please have oversight for the council too ?

So my brain must have been settled in for a long winter's nap when Thody was suspended without pay for 120 days, had his city vehicle use lifted, had to attend alcohol education, then meet with mothers of victims of drunk drivers before he was allowed to return to work. Oh right, that never happened. In fact, nothing ever happened, did it? Why is that? Thody wrote that when he read the detective's text message (regarding the dead pool) he was disgusted, angry, and disappointed. Interesting, because that is how we felt when we heard the recording of the motorist out with his wife for coffee who reported to the police dispatcher an erratic driver (Thody) nearly crashed into two motorcycle riders, hit a guardrail, then took off like a bat out of hell without stopping. In fact, when he evaded the scene of the accident the citizen motorist couldn't even keep up with him he was driving so fast. That citizen's version contradicts much of what Thody said in his several versions of the incident. There is no reason to not believe him, the motorist appears to be very credible. Did IAD or AC Medina ever talk to the motorist and take his statement? If not, why not, don't they think he is an important witness in this incident? When you compare the two incidents, what Thody did was much worse, he put lives at risk if you believe the citizen caller, but nothing happened. He had to pay for the vehicle repairs out of pocket. Big deal. I guess when you are tight with the mayor there is nothing to see here folks, move it along. It might be time for that no confidence vote regarding the chief and assistant chief if our union president isn't taking a long winter's nap too.

After reading today's courant article, Thody's spin on this painstakingly obvious. Perhaps Jason was a few deep already when he made the follwing statement: "It was not immediately apparent that (the message) was sent two days earlier". Jason is trying to soften the blow for Cicero by painting the picture Pauly immediately reported this to him. I believe they teach the days of the week in the first grade, so I would hope Jason can distinguish Wednesday from Friday. There should be zero distinguishable difference in the discipline handed down to the original sender of the text and those that promulgate it. Screen shotting the text, sending it to others shows an intent to defame the department and spread the message of indifference towards the victim's of homicides and their loved ones. Jason is telegraphing his intended lack of discipline for Cicero, using phrases that indicate "personal" cell phones and discrediting what day Pauly claims to have first observed this message. He will claim that since this is not a criminal investigation, he cannot obtain the records of cell phones etc. Whats most appalling is how swift Jason opened and closed the investigation and crushed Jeff, but requires to additional time to figure out how to work around saving Pauly. Last time I checked, an officer that fails to act, intervene, or in this case supervise is treated just as the actor that does this misdeed. Same principle applies to conspiracy laws in Connecticut. Sharing the message is spreading the message, in this case furthering its reach outside the department. Whats most appaling, is the fact that anyone thinks it was a good idea to let Pauly act as PIO and comment on his own mess to the NY POST. Speculating on the outcome of the investigation... come on

Sorry to inform you but this is no different than when thodys mentor and idol was chief. He lied and lied and covered up everything he could to protect his flunkies. This is just par for the course...Old boy network at its best.

I recieved the text today. It’s still going around and probably 8 degrees of separation away from original sender at this point. These young guns were silly to put it in a texfing thread. Should do it like we did it in the 80’s desk drawer lock and key. Word of mouth only. Dumb dumb dumb. No rats that way - whoever shared it has AT&T for the record. It is in the picture

How is it ok for Cicero to provide a stament about dead pool to the NY Post. He is complete garbage always has been and this shows it. It is clear he is doing it to make it look like he's not involved. Guy has always been a weasel and now everyone knows. He should be ashamed of himself for throwing a good detective under the bus to save himself. No matter what we all know the true story. You knew and let your own guy take all the blame to save face and your fragile ego. Kevin can a link to the article be put on the blog so all can read.

The talk around the PD is that there was an MCD unit meeting in which MCD supervisors including Cicero were present and discussed the rules and regulations of the Dead Pool before it was agreed upon and the text sent. This true Kevin? You really think Jeff came up with all that on his own and sent to the supervisors as a surprise without them knowing? C’mon man.

No. I don't think he did it on his own without his Lieutenants approval. I will be posting more on this tonight.

Does anybody know why Cicero is trying to get Major Crimes Detectives to lie for him? Does he think the all white group text recipients will chose him over Placzek?
P.S. Keep asking Vinny for help, he doesn’t want to help you either.

Absolutely true. The death pool joke in no way deleteriously affects the work the cops
must do. Thanks to them, like them or not, for putting themselves out there to manage the barbaric city; and for putting up with woke, cowardly and phony politicians.
