The Connecticut Police Chiefs Association has presented their Legislative Award to a local lawmaker.  Newtown Representative JP Sredzinski received the recognition for his efforts on behalf of the law enforcement community during the 2019 session.  The annual award is given to legislators who demonstrate support for the police through their votes or public remarks.  The ranking member on the legislature’s Public Safety and Security Committee says more than ever, it’s critical to provide police with the resources and support needed to keep communities safe.  CPCA President Keith Mello says Sredzinski has for many years been a leader on many critical inclusions and exclusions on legislation affecting law enforcement, and knowledgeable about how certain legislation would affect the law enforcement community.
