Subject: Letter of Appreciation
Chief & LT,
On March 12, 2025, EMS was dispatched to a call on Hunts Brook Road regarding a person
reported to be not breathing. The WAS and WFD teams responded, and upon our arrival, your
team was performing CPR and gathering essential information for us. I want to thank each of
them for their efforts; they were eager to assist in providing the patient with the best chance for
survival.
Some may have questioned the decision to dispatch your team to critical or uncertain incidents,
but my team and I fully support your choice. We appreciate your team's presence to provide
updates and help us in any way possible.
Thank you for prioritizing what is best for your community. Please let me know if your team
needs any supplies or additional training. We would be happy to support you in these continued
efforts!

statement.
- Complaint of speeding on Old Colchester. Old Colchester has been scheduled into regular traffic

have been observed during observation times. Ongoing observation/enforcement.
REQUESTS FOR SIGNS OR CHANGE OF ROADWAY FEATURES:
- Request for crosswalk at Goshen Road and Great Neck Road, to cross Goshen Road. The

area where a crosswalk would be located is only 175’ from another crosswalk, which crosses
Goshen Road. Based on Connecticut law, this intersection is considered an unmarked crosswalk
and pedestrians have the same right to cross as a marked crosswalk.

Suspicious MV: Flees Attempted Traffic Stop and Crashes in Montville
On March 2, 2025 at 0420 hours Off.Arpin was on routine patrol monitoring traffic in the
area of Norwich / NL TPKE and Lathrop RD. At this time he observed a vehicle traveling at
very slow speeds North on Lathrop RD before turning into a driveway just prior to Nor-
wich / NLTPKE. Off.Aprin, believing criminal activity may be afoot, ran the registration plate
and learned that the vehicle had an expired registration. A motor vehicle stop was attempt-
ed and the vehicle immediately fled northbound on Lathrop RD. Off.Arpin did not pursue
the vehicle but minutes later was advised by Montville Dispatch that the aforementioned ve-
hicle had crashed in their town. Through his criminal investigation, Off.Arpin was able to
track down the suspect and obtain a confession. The operator was charged with Engaging
