💙 HARTFORD STRONG Officer Alex Diaz was released from the hospital today after being shot in the line of duty last night. A Hartford native, member of Academy Class 22-1, and member of our Street Crimes Unit, Officer Diaz represents what it means to wear the Hartford Police uniform — courage, commitment, and an unwavering dedication to our city. Officer Diaz and his fellow Street Crimes officers have worked tirelessly to remove numerous illegal firearms from our city streets, making Hartford safer for the residents they serve. That commitment to protecting this community is at the core of who Alex is as a police officer. Last night, he put himself in harm’s way while serving this community. Today, we are grateful to see him heading home. We also extend our deepest gratitude to the Rocky Hill Police Department, whose officer was also struck by gunfire, as well as the surrounding police departments and law enforcement agencies who responded and stood beside us during an incredibly difficult night. To Officer Diaz’s Street Crimes teammates, every member of the Hartford Police Department, and the countless members of the public who have reached out, offered prayers, sent messages, and shown their support — thank you. The support shown for Alex, our officers, and the entire law enforcement community has meant more than words can express. Stay strong, Alex. Hartford stands with you. 💙

Thirteen fallen peace officers. Thirteen names added to the California Peace Officers’ Memorial. Twenty-seven children carrying their legacy forward. We honor their service, remember their families and stand beside those they left behind. We must never forget.

California can't solve its public safety staffing crisis without fixing the policies driving officers away. PORAC's new PEPRA report makes the case for AB 1383—a fair, fiscally responsible modernization that helps recruit and retain peace officers.

On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who sacrificed everything for our freedom. A grateful nation thanks you. 🇺🇸

We need more cops, firefighters and EMT’s in Connecticut. And as someone who comes from a family of first responders and as the person who runs the largest health and retirement plans for them in the state, I’m honored to be working with law enforcement, the fire service and EMS to solve this challenge.
