OLD SAYBROOK The town’s police chief received the go-ahead this week on a proposal to attract more tenured officers to the department by offering better pay and vacation benefits though he quickly turned questions about his force’s high turnover into criticism of the police commissioners.
Chief Michael Spera, who has denied that turnover is a “problem” for the department, suggested Monday night that the tenor of recent police commission meetings was not helping the department attract new officers.
“People have a preference, and I think that’s why tonight is so successful,” said Scott Martinson, director of health for the CT River Area Health District.
“I think it’s a great idea. It’s helpful because it gives everyone the opportunity to choose what they want,” said Scott Harper of West Haven who waited more than an hour.
In addition to picking a vaccine, Harper had another choice to make at the end of the line. Organizers offered everyone in the vehicles hot dogs or hamburgers.
Martinson says the convenience of the drive-thru vaccination has been a huge hit for the town, and this was a chance to continue that outreach while giving people options.
