The surveillance camera revealed that on 6/11/14 at approximately 2000 hours the suspect entered through the front entrance of the church during bible study. The suspect walked through the hallways of the church and entered the rear office without detection.  It was later determined that the suspect cut one wire to the rear entrance alarm and left the south side window unlocked.
The Pastor called the alarm company in order to reset the alarm that was malfunctioning, unaware that the alarm was tampered with.  The alarm company called the Pastor at 2300 hour later that night because the sensors were setting off but they decided not to call Police thinking that the alarm was malfunctioning.  Surveillance later revealed that the suspect returned and he was the one setting off the sensor but at that time he did not take any items.
Surveillance also revealed the suspect returned for the third time on 6/12/14 at approximately 0900 hours and ripped both of the televisions off the wall and exited through the rear entrance where the alarm was tampered with.  The suspect carried out one television at a time.  -4089.

I think I have seen him. I can't remember if it was at Hartford City Hall, the Hartford Fire Department, or the Hartford School System. Either way, he was hired because he was a city resident. The City loves to hire resident felons.

Brookman has good connections, and people trust him. You can speak to him and know he won't go blabbing to others. Also, he verifies before posting. Good work Kevin!

In response to Anonymous 7:46 PM posting.
As long as you have a city residency requirement for employment, "Fire Department", you are limiting the quality of the potential individuals for the job. By continuing this practice you will be constantly limiting yourself to felons, drug addicts, and unfit / unqualified individuals who's only qualifications are that they are Hartford residents. By the way, the Department receives federal funding and therefore it is illegal to have a residency requirement. No one has challenged this with a lawyer and this is why the practice continues. We at the Fire Department have a saying, that department is a welfare to work program. Thats why the department is on the decline and is destined to failure.

Not to mention the fire department receives federal funding for it's budget and equipment. To receive such funding it is illegal to only allow city residents to apply. Im surprised no one has brought to the attention of the media yet.
