Honored and humbled. Thank you!

I was honored and humbled on Dec. 12 to receive an award from the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association for my legislative work in the Connecticut General Assembly.

As a state lawmaker, I strive to be a strong advocate for our police officers and our police departments.

I think my service for 22 years as a Police Officer in Vernon has helped me greatly in that effort.

I will continue to stand up for the men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line every day to protect each of us!

The Connecticut Police Chiefs Association is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of the residents of the State of Connecticut, and I thank the CPCA for this recognition.
