already share so much in common. Middlefield’s yearly operating expenses would go down dramatically and Durham’s start-up capital expenses would be decreased dramatically. With so much regionalization already between these two towns, this partnership would seem to make logical sense. In fact just this legislative session, Rep. Miner (Litchfield) has introduced HB 5751, which would allow towns to share a resident state trooper. Regardless of the approach Durham takes in the future to provide law enforcement for its residents, it is important to remember that the Connecticut State Police are always available for major investigations. When these major incidents occur, no town is left to fend for itself, regardless of the type of police coverage that may exist in that town. For instance, when the horrific incident happened in Cheshire in 2007, it was the State Police who professionally handled the investigation. One thing, however, is clear. Some form of additional law enforcement is needed — and not to pester motorists and give rolling stop sign tickets — but instead to become an integral part of this community, to be proactive with our youth, to become partners with our residents, to provide quick response to emergencies, to conduct thorough investigations, and to make our community a safer place to live, work and play. Let’s be proactive in this regard and not reactive. Let’s start planning for the future. As always, I can be reached at JSzewczyk@townofdurhamct.org or (860) 349-0003. Selectman John Szewczyk has been a member of the Hartford Police Department for the past 11 years and is also a Connecticut State Certified Police Academy Instructor.
