Thomas J. Hunt
NAUGATUCK â When Naugatuck Police Chief Steven Hunt started his career as a police officer almost 30 years ago, other local officers would always tell him his father, former Naugatuck Deputy Police Chief Thomas J. Hunt, was a âcopâs cop.â
âThatâs probably the highest compliment you can give a police officer,â said Hunt, noting it means an officer does the job right and with integrity.
Thomas J. Hunt died May 3. He was 77 years old.
Thomas J. Hunt started his law enforcement career in 1965 â three years after graduating from Naugatuck High School â as a supernumerary police officer with the Naugatuck Police Department. He spent the next 45 years dedicating himself to the department, retiring in 2010 as deputy police chief.
