Mingione July 19, 1948 May 25, 1994 August 5, 2002 Dear Friends, It gives me great pleasure to extend my greetings and best wishes to the men and women of the Connecticut State Police, and to again extend my appreciation on behalf of the members of our state for the services that you provide. Our citizens enjoy a level of law enforcement professionalism that is second to none, and it is your efforts on a day to day basis that makes this possible. In May of this year our state marked the 100th anniversary of the Connecticut State Police, the oldest state police agency in our nation. These festivities were attended by past and present department members, elected officials, community leaders, and law enforcement representatives from states and cities throughout the country. This tribute to our department was well deserved and a recognition of the contributions made to our state. In the past one hundred years we have seen our state police department evolve from a five member agency, paid $3.00 per day, to a nationally recognized law enforcement agency whose twelve hundred men and women provide primary law enforcement services to eighty one of the state’s towns and cities, proudly serving 3.4 million citizens by patrolling 5,008 square miles, including 600 miles of interstate highways and 7,000 miles of secondary roads throughout Connecticut. I thank each of you for your efforts in making the Connecticut State Police Department not just the first, but more importantly, the finest state police organization in the nation. With our ongoing efforts we will continue to grow and serve as leaders in the law enforcement community, for generations to come. Sincerely your, John G. Rowland JOHN G. ROWLAND Governor Arthur L. Spada Commissioner of Public Safety STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER Arthur L. Spada Commissioner Since June 2000 I have had the distinct honor and privilege of serving as the Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Public Safety. The past year has seen our department continue to grow in both quantity and quality of services which we provide to the public, despite fiscal constraints imposed upon all branches of state government. With the support of our governor and legislators, the Division of State Police, Fire, Emergency and Building Services, and Scientific Services, continue to excel in their mission to promote and ensure the public safety within the State of Connecticut. Additionally, the Division of Homeland Security, recently renamed, and now fully operational, has joined the Department of Public Safety as our fourth division and is tasked with addressing statewide infrastructure security, issues of domestic terrorism, executive protection and the state’s citizens corps. This year’s extraordinary achievements were accomplished despite the loss of experienced personnel. State fiscal restraints required the lay-off of sixty department employees, and permitted the early retirement of one hundred and thirty five department members. Additionally, one hundred and fifty-seven pre- approved positions are frozen due to fiscal constraints. It is clear that the department will not falter in its primary mission of public safety. I am confident that the men and women of our agency will rise to whatever confronts us. May 2003 marked the 100th anniversary of our department, the oldest and finest state police agency in the nation. The celebration of this milestone proved a wonderful opportunity to reunite with past and present members of the department, other members of the law enforcement community, family and friends, elected officials, members of the judiciary, and leaders from throughout our state. The department was also honored to receive awards, commendations and recognition of this accomplishment from the Maine State Police, the Massachusetts State Police, the Rhode Island State Police, the Vermont State Police, the New Hampshire State Police, the Pennsylvania State Police, the New Jersey State Police, the Los Angeles Police Department, and most notably, from President George W. Bush. It is indeed an exciting and fortunate time to serve as your Commissioner. I thank you for your dedication to duty and look forward to your continued commitment to public service. 1111 Country Club Road P.O. Box 2794 Middletown, CT 06457-9294 An Equal Opportunity Employer Colonel Timothy F. Barry Deputy Commissioner -- Commanding Officer the Division of State Police STATE OF CONNECTICUT Accredited Since 1988 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION OF STATE POLICE Colonel Timothy F. Barry Commanding Officer As this edition of the Annual Report goes to press, we find ourselves celebrating our 100th anniversary. As the oldest State Police law enforcement agency in the nation, the past 100 years have seen this Agency strive for excellence in all aspects of law enforcement. The Connecticut State Police has always and will always stand for pride, integrity, loyalty and service. The challenges that this Agency faced during its inception were many and were just as complex as they are today. When Governor Abriam Chamberlain signed the legislative act authorizing the creation of the Connecticut State Police on May 29, 1903, I am sure neither he nor Superintendent Thomas F. Egan could have envisioned the evolution of the Department. Leaders of the Connecticut State Police 100 years ago could not have forecasted the issues facing the Department today. In actuality, the foundation they laid has created one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the country. The past 100 years have brought the Department from having five (5) troopers, whose primary duties were to enforce laws pertaining to liquor and gaming violations, to an authorized strength of 1,248 troopers, third largest in New England. Technological advances have occurred and are continuing. We have a state-of-the art communications system that provides the infrastructure for an “information highway” capable of transmitting voice, data, images or other critical law enforcement information. The most recent acquisition to the Connecticut State Police is our new Bell 407 helicopter. This aircraft joins the fixed wing fleet that presently serves our state. The helicopter, “Trooper One” is a tremendous asset and continuously demonstrates its value to law enforcement throughout the state. This century has already presented law enforcement with new challenges. No one could have anticipated the horrors of September 11, 2001, or the terrorists threats taking place today both here in the United States and around the world. As has been the foundation of the Connecticut State Police for the last 100 years, we were prepared; probably better prepared than most states, yet never imaging the magnitude of what we were prepared for. Our response to the security needs of Connecticut and its citizens were handled with great professionalism and resolve for which we are known. As we reflect where the Department and the State have been, equally we need to envision where we are going in the future. As the Connecticut State Police embarks on our second century, one philosophy will remain unsullied; the traditions, integrity, dedication, and competency will remain within the highest standards of the law enforcement profession. 1111 Country Club Road P.O. Box 2794 Middletown, CT 06457-9294 An Equal Opportunity Employer Framework for the Future By Colonel Timothy F. Barry The Division of State Police within the Connecticut Department of Public Safety is on the verge of new era. Our mission must be to fulfill the role as the State’s lead coordinating law enforcement organization with commitment to honor, respect, and integrity. The Connecticut State Police will effectively direct personnel and resources in partnership with private and public entities to achieve public safety by improving the quality of life for the citizens of Connecticut. By way of background, it is necessary to offer a brief analysis of where we are today before proceeding to where we want to go. Connecticut’s law enforcement community has evolved into probably the most efficient system in the nation. This has occurred partly because of demographic and political considerations, but also because of forward thinking legislative programs, professional development at state and municipal levels, and a true sense of cooperation between entities. The Connecticut State Police is the largest police department in Connecticut and is the third largest in New England; indeed it is one of the largest in the United States. It is a full service police agency with statutory responsibility for providing public safety needs to our citizens in a number of areas.

  • A Study of Militarization and Use of Force
    LIVING IN OCCUPIED TERRITORY: A STUDY OF MILITARIZATION AND USE OF FORCE Cori Pryor A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2020 Committee: Thomas Mowen, Advisor Steve Demuth Danielle Kuhl ii ABSTRACT Thomas Mowen, Advisor Police militarization is happening on a widespread scale across the United States. However, very little is known about its relationship with use of force. At the same time, there has been a growing focus on community policing. Given the concurrent establishment of both of these trends, it is problematic that we do not know how these two tactics interplay with one another, especially in regard to use of force. Additionally, though force is thought to be a mechanism of social control that is unequally distributed in nonwhite communities, studies examining the link between militarization and use of force have yet to include race/ethnicity into their analysis. This paper attempts to address this important gap in the literature by examining the relationship between militarization and use of force through the lens of minority threat theory. I use data from Law Enforcement Management and Statistics 2013, American Community Survey 2009, and Uniform Crime Reports 2013, as well as item response theory and multivariate regression techniques to study this relationship. Results show that militarization is positive and significantly related to the number of use of force incidents recorded by an agency. Additionally, community policing shares a positive and significant relationship with use of force. However, neither racial demographics nor community policing moderate the relationship between militarization and use of force.
