Speecifics as to any replacements or interim Director are not available yet.

More on this later today.

Their is still dirt there they need to keep cleaning the house that includes the rest of the management staff and supervisors they are all part of the problem. That's why they can't hire or keep good dispatchers that includes 311 staff members.

It's about time the city got some ball and fire him. He should have not got the job in the first place.

I heard that Sgt. John O'Hare is pretty computer savy ! O'Hare and Austin. They could handle the job and two Sgt's sure beat out one Jaffee!!

Why would either leave their cushy jobs in the gtf to work with lazy dispatchers? Put kessler in there. That will fix all of them lazy dispatchers. No more simpsons on the tv in there and doritos on the finger tips .

Wow. This was an important message for Segarra to send to other departments. Residents deserve to know the employees are responsive and concerned about their needs. If the actions of a few embarrass the department - more than once - the department head will be accountable.

THAT is public service.

Good, now do the same thing with the Fire Department, get rid of the dead weight scumbags who make the rest of us look bad....Milledge, Mercato, Hooks, Albert, Waller. How's that for a start!

Who is going to train the Sgts? They need to bring back Tony G and TC for couple of months to teach the Sgts. the way dispatch is suppose to be done

While I am happy that the Mayor took action here i question why the other department heads that deserve the same are not on the chopping block as well. Time to clean house Mr Mayor, this was a first step in the right direction. Fire the rest that are mismanaging and creating the embarrassment that has plagued your administration.

Interesting!!! And happy to hear that Pedro is finally manning up and is tightening on his belt. He must be reading Kevin's Blog.

When is Pedro going to get rid of the biggest bad apple in his office, who's working illegally, double dipping, mismanaging the city budget, storing important receipts in shoe boxes, feasting on caviar and champagne, implementing positions for her fiancee, representing him in housing court, a big conflict of interest and definitely a no-no in the code of ethics attorney's book of conducts.

Pedro what are you waiting for, don't wait until the media expose it first, you don't need any more embarrassing moments. We the people of Hartford have heard enough.

Good riddance is right. This guy was nothing more than a skid mark on the underpants of the pd and even worse as ecd supervisor. The citizens deserve better than this jack off .

Lets look at who's running the DPW the same scenario incompetent person given a job he can't handle. When will that ax fall on this position he's probably not worried his position is to near the top of the shit list so he's still got time. I wonder if he applied for the job in the town where he lives. He didn't get it. Maybe because he wasn't qualified.

I agree with you 100%. It's always a few BAD SEEDS in every bunch that makes a place look bad. I don't know about PD, but ad for Dispatch the trouble makers who have been causing problems for YEARS & nothing has been done about them are as follows: Jennifer Martinez, Betty Perez, Luz Cashman, Kim Bermudez (awful supervisor), Peter Sevetz (awful supervisor). I'm sure there's a few more. Nayda has her moments but she had her Boyfriend (Mike Bruce-Operations Manager) on her side. Oh, I forgot Kim also has her( Cash Cow/half his Pension) I mean Boyfriend DC Hightower on her side also. Does he do anything as a DC cause he's always in Dispatch. What's wrong you don't get to see her after work hours??? Does any other DC visit the DISPATCH CENTER everyday that they work????

What about Amy Stewart???? She use her position & continued to pay an employee (Friend) that was on Maternity Leave knowing that she didn't have any time left. She's been on PAID ADMIN LEAVE since Jan or Feb. Why is that? She paid out several thoussnd dollars that she knew this person didn't have, and it wasn't no DAMN oversight!!! I guess it's all in who you know (Friends at the top). Had it been anybody else especially someone of COLOR (Blk or Hisp) their ASSES would have been ARRESTED & FIRED!!! So sad...SMH

To the shitty coward that is blasting Jen, Betty, Lucy and Nayda. Stop being a hater! You're jusy jealous because these are the best dispatchers in the department. !!! These dispatchers care about citizens and officer safety!!!! They are old school! Now about Kim and Peter Sevets, yes, they do suck!!! So before you coward go around commenting on the greatest dispatchers that are here, go and get a life!

You talk about bad seeds in the Dispatch Center, I remember years, and years ago, and I don't know if she is still there or not, retired or not, but from the start this person was a bad seed, she started from the FD, then FD moved the dispatchers out to PD, from the beginning, she couldn't speak English correctly, they sent her and others to school, she didn't the Hartford area, didn't even know what a fire truck looked like, she gave everyone a tuff time, the guys on the line couldn't even understand her when she was working dispatch, because of her Spanish accent, she wasn't the easiest person to work with, and would take plenty personal time off, not only that, from what was said around the F.D. she slept with half of the Fire Dept. and then worked her way over to the P.D. so, look at it this way, if they couldn't get rid of Caez, what makes you think they could clean house with the rest of the dispatchers their that don't belong there....think about it, she has or is probably still there, and it's maybe 20 yrs now, if anything.

All you lazy dispatchers, your days are numbered. No more do what you want. No more hour lunch breaks and watching tv during dispatching. Get your resumes ready for mcdonalds if you dont want to get your asses in check. The gravey train is over !!! Do you hear me !! Over!!!

Please get your facts straight, I am the "friend" and I was back at work for 2 months before the ONE day in question! My daughter was in the ICU near death so I took a day to be with her. AdditionalI had PLENTY of time in the bank from donated hours by my union brothers and sisters, legitimately according to union rules. There was no thousands of dollars in overpayments to me. The one error you are talking about was for one day only and was corrected before checks even came out because my department does have great oversight! And for the record, I sent an email to the whole dept announcing my sick day and noted it in my time sheet correctly! Please don't make reckless comments that seemingly implicate a host of good people! I would not steal time from the city and my department is run very well. Thank you very much!

Your right..there are SOME lazy dispatchers that need to go. But it really began with the corrupt management that took over under Stango...Mike Bruce..Kat Odwyer just to name a few

Who ever the shitty coward was that wrote about the dispatchers, I guess you're one too because u didn't post your name either!!! You are so OFF TARGET about them being the best dispatchers ever (what PLANET are you from?) Take Nayda out of that group cause out of them she's the only old school dispatcher that really knows her job well. (minus her attitude sometimes). I guess your. life is being their CHEERING SQUAD cause. you probably SUCK as a dispatcher too. Really curious to know why so got so upset. (Truth Hurts doesn't it). You've never heard. anyone speak anything GOOD about them. from Dispatch (besides you) or PD, I know for. sure you've hear a lot of NEGATIVE things & a bunch of BS they start/cause...I know. because I work with their MISERABLE ASSES. on Asq..My suggestion to you is Stop being. afraid of them because they're BULLIES & GET YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

Really...She's on paid admin leave for somthing, so your dept isnt running well as you say...Don't get mad at what was put out there because it came from somewhere to have made it to the blog..So you need to find that source & stop being mad at the people who hear about things like this and want to speak & express their feelings about it

Kevin,
Dispatch has a lot of misfits but what business is it who's dating, screwing or cheating on who.
Really, people need to reevaluate there own lives. We all know there's a lot of Skeletons in the Hpd closest!
Yea an error was made on the Linnmmore st call and yea the older lady being found in her home dead was a mistake on dates in the cad, but that doesn't make those dispatcher's incompetent. It was Human error, neither cases outcome would have changed.
To the cowards that write on here bashing the supervision in dispatch Peter may not have a true clue what he's taken on coming from suburbia but he is thorough in his work. Kim to why dont you give her credit you cowards,your the first to talk about her and give your opinion of what you THINK is going on in her personal life. Grow up, you don't know shit your obviously very jealous. You just don't like the fact that she Has the authority to tell you what to do! And that's your problem you don't like authority well that's why your in such hot water now!
Maybe next time you answer the phone you'll think twice about being rude.

To those dispatchers trying to defend themselves, don't even go there because I can't start naming people here and listing who is cheating or screwing around with you. You all know what I am talking about. Yes, all married cheaters. Hahaha!!! Nervous yet? Lets not get started with this gibberish because a lot of you will feel the fire.
