Chief Christopher Lyddy (Fairfield Police Department)
FAIRFIELD, CT After nearly four decades of service with the Fairfield Police Department, Chief Christopher Lyddy will retire in January 2021, the department announced Wednesday. Looking back on my 38-year career, I have been blessed to work alongside some of the finest individuals this profession has ever produced, Lyddy said in a department news release. I am the product of many officers and supervisors who came before me and shaped me through the years.
Lyddy was first introduced to the department in 1976 at age 16, when he joined the Fairfield Police Explorer Program. Three years later, while pursuing a bachelor s degree in criminal justice at Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island, he was hired as a special officer in Fairfield to work the summer and holiday seasons.
