was not approving the rotary tonight, but just starting the process to get more
information.

Re: Request for Review and Evaluation of the Intersection at Route 1 (Boston Post Road) and Cross
Road/Spithead Road, Waterford, CT
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of the Waterford Police Commission, the Local Traffic Authority for the Town of
Waterford, to formally request that the Connecticut Department of Transportation conduct a comprehensive
review of the intersection of Route 1 (Boston Post Road) and Cross Road/Spithead Road.
Over the past several years, Cross Road, serving as a primary connector between I-95 and Route 1, has
experienced noticeably increasing traffic volume. As a result, daily traffic backups on Cross Road
approaching the intersection have become significant. On an average day, the queue extends approximately
0.4 to 0.5 miles. On particularly heavy traffic days, backups have reached 1 mile, reaching as far as the I-95
overpass.
In previous communications with DOT, adjustments were made to the traffic signal timing at this
intersection. We appreciate those efforts; however, we were recently informed that the current timing is
considered optimal given the existing roadway layout and the limitations of the present signal equipment.
Despite this, the traffic congestion on Cross Road persists and continues to worsen.
Because the Waterford Police Commission is responsible for monitoring and addressing traffic-related
concerns within the town, we have reviewed the ongoing issues at this location and voted to formally
request that DOT re-evaluate the intersection. Specifically, we ask that the Department consider potential
upgrades, safety and capacity improvements, or a redesign of the intersection and its approach roadways to
better accommodate current and projected traffic demands.
We believe that a thorough DOT engineering review is necessary to determine effective, long-term solutions
that will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance safety for all motorists traveling through this
increasingly burdened corridor.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. The Waterford Police Commission, along with the Town of
Waterford, stands ready to assist or provide any additional information needed during your review. We
respectfully request acknowledgment of this letter and information about the next steps in the evaluation
process,
Sincerely,|
Chief Mare Balestracci (LTA)
On behalf of the Waterford Police Commission
Town of Waterford, Connecticut

BUDGET FUNCTION
The Waterford Police Department is a 24-hour, 7-day a week and 365 days per year public
safety and community outreach agency. As the police department is staffed around the clock,
we are able to assist other agencies with their needs while also serving in a law enforcement
capacity.
The police department employs 52 sworn officers, 17 part-time Community Service Officers, 5
support staff personnel and 1 custodian.
The Animal Control Officer program is a split cost with the Town of East Lyme and employs two
full-time Animal Control Officers.

BUDGET SUMMARY
The Waterford Police Department prides itself as being an integral part of the town and our
municipal government. Our agency is passionate about community outreach and engagement,
strengthening our relationships with the community we serve and delivering high quality police
services. We work closely with other town departments and the Board of Education in an effort
to make Waterford a safe place to live, work and visit.
As the police department attempts to be completely transparent in the presentation of our
budget request, the following factors are critical elements to consider this year:
This year’s request is an increase of 1.47% from last year, totaling $105,945.
The collective bargaining agreement between the Waterford Police Union and the Town of
Waterford expires on June 30, 2026, therefore any negotiated increases to the Union contract
that may go into effect on July 1, 2026, are not covered under this request.
The collective bargaining agreement between the civilian staff who work at the police
department and the Town of Waterford expires on June 30, 2026, therefore any negotiated
increases to the Union contract that may go into effect on July 1, 2026, are not covered under
this request.
To summarize, the 51000 series increase in our budget request is $75,204, whereas the 52000
series increased $14,413, the 53000 series increased $12,329 and the 54000 series increased
$4,000.

Other high profile items in the budget request are explained below:
Training Salaries: For the past two years, our agency has transferred funding into this line,
$10,000 and $5,000 respectively. With the number of newer officers within our ranks as well as
the increasing requirements of training for our regional emergency response team, we are
requesting additional funding for this line. This funding will ensure our newer officers have the
training to be successful while also reaching the State of Connecticut requirements and that the
members of our emergency response team remain within national standards for their roles.
Telephone: For the past two years, our agency has transferred funding into this line, $2,900
and $8,900 respectively. This year, we anticipate the need to transfer approximately $9,000
into the telephone line as costs continue to increase. As we have previously used twenty-four
months’ worth of past values to determine an average cost for future budgets, we find this
method to be inadequate and are no longer using it to project telephone costs. As we work
with the Town’s Purchasing Agent and IT Director to try and reduce costs in this area, our
request this year is more in line with current monthly costs at the time of budget development
as we have averaged the previous five months of bills only.
Overtime: As this line has been flat for the past few years and we continue to support
numerous community events, we are requesting an increase in this year’s request. The officers
who are assigned to the events cost more as they have received pay increases as detailed by
the collective bargaining agreement approved by the Town of Waterford. In addition, the
growing concerns of mass gatherings and violence in our country is causing us to provide
security coverage at more events.
Fuel: Each year, the Town of Waterford directs departments to use a specific value for the cost
of gasoline. As a department that uses approximately 40,000 gallons per fiscal year, this value
can create significant changes to the annual budget request. In this request, we are using $2.39
per gallon as that is the current rate being charged to the department’s fuel line item per
gallon. As of this request, the Town of Waterford has not secured the final value for FY2027.

Consistant review of spending and reductions: In every budget series, we continue to review
the need, costs and overall impact each expenditure has on our budget and adjust when
appropriate.

Looking Ahead
Staffing: The collective bargaining agreement for the police union expires on June 30, 2026, whereas
the collective bargaining agreement for civilian staff at the police department expires on the same date.
These agreements will have significant impacts on retaining the department’s current employees as well
as our recruitment of future employees, but to the annual budget request as well.
Capital Project Needs: We continue to request and make upgrades within our building to meet current
standards and to provide a safe environment for staff and the public. As our building in now
approximately 35 years old and is used on a 24/7 basis, we are in significant need of a locker room
renovation project. This project will not only update areas directly impacting the employees of the
Waterford Police Department, but it will also expand the female locker room in size, as we are beyond
capacity for female employees. Although we have taken temporary measures to provide adequate
space for newly hired female employees, these efforts are temporary only and are not sustainable. This
project will double our capacity for female employees including increased showers and toilets (from one
each to two in the female locker room), replace the original lockers which will provide proper ventilation
and power outlets and provide new drop ceilings and tiling to replace the original pink and blue tiling
that will be irreparable after construction.
The facility is also in considerable need of repairs/replacement to the front doors, roof, HVAC system
and parking lot, which are projects controlled by the Public Works department.

Excerpts from the Uniform Crime Report
*The requirements for law enforcement service vary greatly from one locale to another based
upon each jurisdiction’s unique demographic traits and characteristics. A small community
situated between two larger cities, for example, may require a greater number of law
enforcement personnel than a community of the same size that has no urban center nearby.
Similarly, the needs of a community having a highly mobile or seasonal population may be very
different from those of a city with a relatively stable population. A community that incorporates
legal gambling establishments will have different law enforcement challenges than one in which
the presence of a large military base is the dominant influence, just as a small college town will
have different needs than one comprised predominantly of retirees.
*The functions of law enforcement are also significantly diverse throughout the Nation. The
responsibilities of state police and highway patrol agencies vary considerable from one
jurisdiction to another. Their duties range from traffic enforcement on state highways and
interstate roadways to major investigative responsibilities for all violent crimes committed
statewide. Nationally, the overall role of law enforcement continues to be expanded and
redefined in light of the constant threat from international and domestic terrorism. When
attempting any comparison of law enforcement employee rates, the data user must consider
these differing service requirements and responsibilities.
In view of these differing service requirements and responsibilities, care should be used when
attempting any comparison of law enforcement rates. The rates presented should be viewed as
guides or indicators, not as recommended or preferred police strengths. Adequate personnel for
a specific locale can be determined only after careful study and analysis of the various
conditions affecting service requirements in that jurisdiction.
New London County is home to 23 jurisdictions with a mix of organized police departments,
constabularies and state police coverage.
The latest Connecticut uniform Crime Reporting statistics places Waterford as one of the busier
police departments in New London County. While activity remains high, the Waterford Police
Department has the highest crime solve rate in eastern Connecticut for the latest reporting
period at 72.69% (NIBRS2024).
