PROPERTY OF STATE OF CONNECTICUT, BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT?
ALL REGISTERED AND READY TO GO, FOR THREE YEARS SITTING HERE
This posting is a gift from the State Of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEEP) that I just couldn't pass up.
I recently received a call from a source advising me that a school in Groton, the Marine Science Magnet High School of South Eastern Connecticut at 130 Shennecossett Road in Groton had apparently had a 17 foot Boston Whaler boat in their parking lot for roughly 3 years. The boat reportedly was registered and belonged to DEEP.
The interesting part is that, according to DEEP e-mails, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, no one at DEEP knew the boat was missing or why it was in Groton for the last three years.
Right about now you are probably shaking your head in disbelief as I was when I got the call. How do you "misplace" a 17 foot boat with engine and sitting on a trailer registered to the State of Connecticut, for over three years? Who is responsible for the asset inventory? With the size of the State of Connecticut government, what else is missing or unaccounted for and whose job is it to keep track?
Luckily this asset was recovered, but imagine if every State agency were as reckless at protecting State property and taxpayers dollars they invest in such equipment. The number is probably staggering.

Hi Doug,
I looked all the items below up and they are active on the Asset system. The boat and trailer are assigned to your Marine HQ unit, the motor is assigned to Hartford Law. The last
time the trailer and boat were found was in 2016, the motor was last found in 2015. I am not aware of how these items are at this school as for the why they are there and who authorized it I have no knowledge. We need to remove them and transport them back
to DEEP. Can we check with Bill Kohl maybe he was aware of this. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you,
Melanie

Good morning Melanie,
Tim Delgado, from the Boating Division, contacted me this morning about a boat that a marine magnet high school has. Tim has included the pictures that were sent
to him. If you look at the pictures you will see that the boat trailer has one of our plates on it. I’m not sure how the school wound up with this boat, however, I doubt we would have transferred a boat and left the plate on the trailer.
Could you check and see if the boat, motor or trailer are still on our inventory? Or, if you have a record that these items were in fact surplussed.

Wait a minute!!?? So they did t know where the boat was for three years!!!???? Who’s running that place?!! An 8 year old child?? Or a adult that has the mental capacity of an 8 year old child???
MOST likely an adult making a $125,000 plus a year salary, it is the State of Connecticut remember
Kevin, they lost an actual boat for three years and the captain that was cc’d on all the emails (Keith Williams) doesn’t even do a report???
Zero accountability at DEEP. Rovella was a good thing for that place. Too bad he left two months in for the DESPP Commish job.
Zero accountability at DEEP. Rovella would of been a good thing for that place.
Are these people police Officers?
Blue State politicians in action. just pay your taxes and shut up.
7:21am they do have Law Enforcement functions
This reminds me of the story just over a year ago about the CSP SWAT unit and the missing guns, ammunition and uniforms. Maybe the FBI needs to come in an inventory DEEP's assets.
Kevin how do you loose a boat?
i think you mean "lose". That is what I am asking
We have no idea where all the HPD/HFD Boats are.
U obviously don't work at HPD. He had more scams than any officer ever could. King of the coverup.
Kevin, it says in the emails that the school said they “were given” the boat. Can you find out by who? This sort is strange with a lot of un answered questions.
Who is mike lambert? Is he sworn? How does he play into all this? He claims to be a cop but I looked it up and he’s not, he’s a manager. He holds zero authority in the law Enforcement sector but likes to make people think he does.
There’s a job opening there:

Great! More do nothing bureaucrats! Someone’s buddy probably needs a job.
Mike Lambert should be arrested for impersonating a police officer. He is always saying he is a Cop.
That’s a police boat? Somali pirates have better boats.
