Chief Morello answered a few questions:
Is the city cracking down on motor scooter violations? , Explained long-term study utilizing dash cameras, and future use of FLOCK program that would essentially geo fence Bristol, Southington currently uses this program https://www.flocksafety.com/articles
Do we have an influx of illegal aliens? I haven't seen the impact. We recently introduced 2 new officers, and now have 124, funding thru cannabis sales. Officers have a focus on mental wellness, they also follow up and connect those in need with helpful organizations
Do we have a foot patrol? Not at this time
Is there a trend of running stop signs and red lights? yes explained if cameras are used there may be an uptick in rear-end accidents.
Do students in the cadets program get backlash for being part of the program? Don't know about any negative treatment, no one knows you are in the program
Resource officers at each school. SEOs always build relationships with students, know who is having a bad day, and look out for trouble
