HPD DUI CHECKPOINT THURSDAY


MASSIVE LAYOFFS COMING TODAY FOR CITY OF HARTFORD

 According to sources, today is "D-Day" for between 40 and 100 City of Hartford employees who will be receiving layoff notices and will be shown the door today.

 The process began early today as employees began receiving their layoff notices and had their access to City records and computers revoked.

No official word is available yet as to the exact numbers and departments, but one source said it appeared to be all departments "across the board"

 More on this throughout the day.

The layoff's have been necessitated by the budget hole that the Segarra administration has left for Mayor Bronin

NOW THROW IN A ROBBERY AND KIDNAPPING TO CLOSE OUT THE NIGHT

On 5/3/16 at 10:41pm Hartford Police Department patrol officers responded to 241 Ledyard Street in response to a possible robbery/abduction (of an adult) complaint. 241 Ledyard St is a small mechanic repair shop (M&J Auto) in the South Meadows neighborhood. At 10:41pm this business is typically closed.

The victims reported working in the shop late, when masked suspects entered carrying guns, speaking in a Dominican dialect and demanding money. One of the victims reported that his father had been in shop with them, was abducted by the suspects, and left with them in a small black Cadillac SUV. The victims were subsequently brought to the Hartford Police Department to be interviewed by Major Crimes Detectives. Approximately an hour later, officers learned that the victim's father was left on Interstate 91 South by exit 8 -uninjured. Hartford Police responded to that area and brought the victim back to the Hartford Police Department to also be interviewed by Major Crimes Detectives.
The motive is unclear as HPD MCD Detectives are trying to determine why this smaller, typically closed auto shop in an industrial neighborhood would by the target of an armed robbery and abduction by multiple suspects at that time of night.

Cars, tools and electronics were not stolen from the shop. Some cash ($200) was reported stolen. The suspects are described as 4-5 Dominican males in black clothing, wearing ski masks. The investigation is ongoing.

A GREAT JOB BY HFD

FROM TH HARTFORD FIRE DEPARTMENT


Hartford, Conn. (May 2, 2016) — Today, the Hartford Fire Department (HFD) announced that over the weekend firefighters and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals delivered a baby at a Bedford St. residence.

“It is not often that we respond to calls that leave us smiling from ear to ear, and rejoicing with the citizens that we are called to serve, due to the nature of most of the calls,” said HFD Lieutenant Ron Talit. “However, this is one of those calls that we were ecstatic about.”

On Sunday afternoon, the HFD received a report that a mother’s water had just broken at a Bedford St. address. 

When firefighters and EMS professionals from Engine 2 arrived on location, they were immediately advised by others in the house that a baby had crowned and was ready to be delivered. 

Within minutes of rushing to the mother — and providing care and support — a newborn was successfully delivered. This was followed by postpartum care being provided to the beautiful newborn baby girl and her proud mother. 

“Our dedicated professional emergency responders are committed to providing exceptional services to the citizens and visitors of our great city,” said HFD Chief Reginald D. Freeman. “The excellence that was demonstrated on this particular call is reflective of our experience and training which we are committed to ensuring that the City of Hartford receives nothing but the best from their Hartford firefighters and EMS professionals.”

The mother’s expected due date was Tuesday, May 3, 2016.
