I am writing to you as I prepare to move on to my new assignment/command within the Connecticut State Police.
After 16 years in the State Police Public Information Office, as the spokesman for the Connecticut State Police, I have grown to not only like the assignment but to have also had the honor and privilege to work with so many media professionals. I was honored to have worked with many Commissioners, Colonels, and Governors of our great state.
I want to thank each and every one of you for helping me to understand the work that you do and for helping me to better the ways that we might work together for our mutual interest. There are so many individuals that come to mind, so I cannot single anyone out for fear of missing one. Simply stated to all of you – thank you.
The tragedies that we have worked on together in our state have always been handled with dignity by all of you, especially December of 2012. I will never forget the professionalism and class everyone showed during that horrific time.
The 40 years I have spent serving the people of Connecticut in my varied State Police assignments is an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything. I have learned so much from law enforcement professionals and media professionals alike. I have never wavered in my belief that the Connecticut State Police is the finest police department in the country. The men and woman that serve our citizens are second to none.
To the citizens of Connecticut, I thank them for their support and for the many kind emails and letters I have received since my transfer was announced. I plan to continue to serve each one of you every day as I continue my career as the Commander of the State Police Traffic Services unit. If I can be of any assistance to anyone please feel free to contact me at my new assignment. My email and cell number remains the same.
I wish you all well and success.
Respectfully,
