Danbury sends 7 recruits to Police Training Academy

Danbury is sending seven recruits to the Connecticut Police Training Academy today for training in order to join the Department.

 

Police officials have said they are understaffed due to a spate of retirements. Danbury was only supposed to have six seats at the academy, but the Chief was able to secure an additional spot. The seven new members were confirmed by the City Council at their meeting Tuesday night.

 

Danbury received 526 applications for the position of entry level officer, about 200 more than the last recruitment period. They put together a recruitment video, which went viral. Last summer, city officials put out a call for a dozen new officers.
