Police Chief

The town of Southold has reinstated its police chief, Martin Flatley, after serving a suspension without pay since the summer.

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim has scheduled two public hearings to allow residents and stakeholders the opportunity to ask questions to the top three candidates for its new police chief.

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim’s office has consulted with the International Association of Chiefs of Police to decide on a candidate for the city's new police chief. They have determined the new chief will not need a college degree to be considered for the job.

The city of Bridgeport's last permanent chief went to prison for rigging his own hiring process.

Renee Dominguez announced she will retire on Saturday following a judge’s order to resign because she has held the interim job for too long and failed to gain approval by the city’s Board of Alders.

Anthony Armeno signed off from the city’s police force as its deputy chief for good last Friday.

After nearly a year without a permanent chief of police, Bridgeport's mayor changes how his office will approach finding new leadership.

Acting Police Chief Renee Dominguez was appointed in June of last year.

Reverend Boise Kimber of the Greater New Haven Clergy Association said he believes that if Dominguez stays, then nothing will continue to be done in terms of crime and that a leader of vision is needed.

Stuart Cameron took over in May after Geraldine Hart left for a public safety position at Hofstra University. Before that, Cameron served as chief after James Burke resigned the position over his role in the assault of a handcuffed prisoner.
