State Police Commission: More Troopers Needed

Understaffing Said To Cause Many Problems

By TRACY GORDON FOX
Courant Staff Writer

January 13 2007

MIDDLETOWN -- More money and more cops. By its third meeting Friday, that's what 
members of a commission investigating the state police internal affairs unit 
said it would take to fix the broken system within the department.

Their comments came after two high-level commanders spoke before the commission, 
saying a lack of supervision caused by understaffing, particularly in the field, 
contributed to many of the internal affairs cases that have recently surfaced.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell formed the commission to investigate the internal affairs unit 
after a highly critical report was issued Dec. 4 by the New York State Police 
and the Connecticut attorney general's office. The report outlined misconduct 
and improper influence in cases against troopers that involved domestic violence, sexual assaults, drunken driving and larceny.

On Friday, the commanders described situations, particularly on the evening and 
midnight shifts, in which troopers have little supervision in the field because 
there is only one sergeant in charge. Often that sergeant not only has to 
supervise five to seven troopers on his shift, but local officers or constables 
who are also working under state police supervision.

"What interaction do the troopers have with their supervisor," asked Maj. Peter 
Terenzi, commander of the central district. "Little or none. We're too spread 
apart. What we are doing isn't working."

"We all agree unilaterally across the board that is what needs to be done. It is 
that critical."

John O'Connor, a former New Haven police officer and U.S. marshal, also agreed. 
"We have to increase the size of the state police," O'Connor said. "I think that 
is of utmost importance."

Rep. Stephen Dargan, D-West Haven, an ex-officio member of the board, said he has submitted two bills to increase the size of the state police to more than 
1,500 troopers. The department is authorized to have 1,248 troopers.

Terenzi and Maj. Steven Fields, who commands the bureau of criminal 
intelligence, spoke about staffing with the permission of Public Safety 
Commissioner Leonard C. Boyle, who is also an ex-officio member of the 
commission.

"They believe with more first-line supervisors there would be greater compliance 
with our operations manual because there would be closer supervision," Boyle 
said, adding that he agrees with them.

So does Maj. Robert Duffy, who is supervising the internal affairs unit.

"I think there are certain cases where increased supervision in the field would 
have helped reduce the number of problems," Duffy said.

State police will also need to more than double the staffing with internal 
affairs, from four lieutenants to eight, police said. The number of internal 
affairs cases doubled last year to 106, he said.

Where the money will come from will depend on the state legislature and the governor, officials said. "That is 
what the legislature and the governor will have to do in a bipartisan manner," 
Dargan said.
