National Police Week 2013

Pictures from the adventure
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

NLPD Officers attend for ceremony for MIT Officer SEAN COLLIER

Officers attend on their own time..
Get no support from NLPD administration,
No use of a cruiser or recognition for doing the right thing by attending..

Mayor states on public access show...
He will be tough in police negotiations and demand no raises!
All before even hearing Unions proposals to save money at
the first city/union sit down scheduled for May 6th!
going to cut the police no matter what
Would rather see no overtime & Flex time to save laying off police officers.
But understands having negotiations going to arbitration is risky and
Wethersfield may side with the union.
