TRUMBULL The town’s police chief says Connecticut’s modified law enforcement accountability bill is more “reasonable.”
Gov. Ned Lamont signed the revised Public Act 21-4 into law on March 31.
“So, the legislature made changes in the wording and it’s, in my opinion, much more reasonable,” Trumbull Police Chief Michael Lombardo said this week during the police commission meeting.
“I’m not saying there weren’t areas for improvement, there always are. However, it still needs to be reasonable for a person to be able to function and keep themselves as safe as they can, while safeguarding others that they’re responsible for.”

SHELTON Mayor Mark Lauretti says he’s “dumbfounded” why prosecutors are not pursing criminal charges against two volunteer city firefighters who, according to a police report, have been accused of sexually and physically assaulting a woman.
Echo Hose Fire Capt. John Scollin and volunteer firefighter Matthew Perkowski who is also a Trumbull police sergeant were suspended last week pending an internal investigation into the alleged assault, which police said occurred on Sept. 6, 2020.
