Mayor Bronin, if you want to preserve confidence in the Hartford Police Department and maintain your own integrity, if that exists, you need to act swiftly.
A full investigation into the facts of Hartford Police Chief Jason Thody's crash of his City Vehicle should have already have been ordered by you. In case you haven't been following the news, police relations are at a critical tipping point and your failure to move quickly and decicively to get to the truth could be detrimental to Police/Community relations in Hartford.
Why was the City car in Chester on a Sunday evening? Who was in the car with him and what is the identity of the passenger? If Thody did actually call the Connecticut State Police as he claims, his cell phone records should already be on Bronin's desk. I am sure the Connecticut State Police would be more than willing to provide the recordings of that call to Bronin if they actually exist. ( I am not a gambler, but I would take that bet that there was no call made)
Where are the internal HPD documents to prove that Thody followed accepted HPD procedures as required? Who was the shift Lieutenant that was required to be notified after any HPD officer has interactions with an outside Police agency. Where was the CIR ( report) as required after any City vehicle accident? The incident report claims COO Thea Montanez was notified after the accident, How and when did she document the incident, maybe as a first hand witness?
If Thody did call CSP as he claims, the recording would be very interesting to hear. What did Thody relate to them to get them to decline responding? And where are the documents submitted to the HPD Fleet manager to facilitate repairs and notifications or did Thody just take the vehicle to a Southend towing company vendor , an HPD contracted tow company to try to get the repairs completed "under the radar" quickly? Where are the photographs taken by the HPD Crime Scene Division to document the damage?
Too many questions for either myself or anyone else to maintain trust in Chief Thody's leadership of HPD. Mayor, it is within your power and obligation to resolve these questions and if you are any kind of leader with integrity you will already be well underway to be answering these questions and not approving a coverup to protect your allies. I have confidence in Commissioner Rovella that he is already working to maintain the integrity and reputation of his agency, and Mayor Bronin needs to do the same. I have many of the answers to my own questions already and it isn't pretty. Much more to come on this, rest assured.
Give ThodyThody a break its only $5,000 that is the monthly gas bill the city pays for a certain Lieutenant to commute to New York. But I guess the Chiefs had to reward him since they tasked him with shutting down the blog with a lawsuit. It is very clear why they wanted you shut down now to prevent transparency and accountability at high levels at the police department.
ReplyDeleteCup after cup after cup after cup.......
A HPD Lieutenant takes a car home to New York every night? How is that allowed? How does that benefit the taxpayers of Hartford?

ReplyDeleteIt appears to be a COVERUP.
Thody should be forced to RESIGN NOW.
TALK about TRANSPARENCY.
TEN DAYS LATER A HARTFORD POLICE REPORT WITH NO DATE.
SANDRA BORGES A FORMER CITY MANAGER BOYFRIEND, AN OFF DUTY FIREFIGHTER, WAS INVOLVED IN AN OFF DUTY ACCIDENT IN THE CITY. WHY WAS HE DISCIPLINED >?
So City Council decides they want to defund the Police and take money from VIN and the Detention Division that will most likely hurt the way we police this summer. So in tern they decide to put a certain LT to command the VIN Division who resides in NY and gives him a take home city car. Who’s making these decisions and is there any accountability for these tax draining friend hookups?
ReplyDeleteNot for nothing but a lot of coverups happened under Rovella as well.
ReplyDeleteThe most coverups happened under Rovella but Thody had the chance to do right by the department and he only did right by his inner circle. Same Circus Different Clowns! Every single one of them should be held accountable for their coverups! They know what’s going on and say nothing! No integrity from anyone currently in the chiefs complex. God is watching.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I see this as a smear campaign for a chief who is working to change the police culture in hartford to something more community centered. My prayers to Thody, the snakes are coming out the grass.
ReplyDeleteYeah ok! If he really cared he would listen to his own officers that are trying to point out the bad officers in the department. Instead he covers it up and allow his friends that are BAD COPS continue to discriminate. Then he’s marching along side BLM and kneeling with them like he really wants change. Kick Rocks! He shouldn’t be allowing the good cops to get retaliated against for complaining about racist cops! Rovella, Foley, Thody, Medina, are all the same! You want change, you better get rid of all of these clowns!
DeleteIf you can watch good people get mistreated but don’t say anything because you want to keep their cushy position, that means you have NO integrity so you get what you deserve at some point. Lies and coverups are all you’re good for. That’s a real snake!
AMEN!
Delete12:46 PM do facts and documents not matter to you? Do you think the States Attorney has become involved if there is nothing to it?
ReplyDelete@ 1:16. You just reminded me, Thody kneels with BLM yet flew the confederate flag off his Jeep in high school! He’s changed so much..... yeah right. Phony
ReplyDeleteWasn’t someone looking for that social media confederate flag picture?
ReplyDeleteHow did Thody get all those medals if he only worked in booking, ESD, and inside second floor assignments? #stolenvalor
