BRIDGEPORT The city’s police union voted no confidence in Acting Police Chief Rebeca Garcia on Wednesday.
Fifty-four percent of the union membership who voted chose to ask Mayor Joseph Ganim to appoint another acting police chief immediately. Union officials would not disclose the numbers of the vote.
“The results of our vote clearly indicate that the Bridgeport Police Department is hurting and needs to address the underlying issues that trouble our dedicated officers,” said Union President Sgt. Brad Seely. “We did not undertake this vote lightly or without consideration of its impact. And I want to stress that the vote is not simply about labor relations problems.
