               STATE POLICE & BERLIN POLICE CONDUCT WARRANT SWEEP

   Today 10/07/08 during the early morning hours the Connecticut State Police working with the Berlin Police Department initiated an operation to execute violent offender arrest warrants for individuals wanted by the Berlin Police Department. This operation named “Operation Turnpike” included a multi jurisdictional sweep in an effort to take into custody wanted persons.

   The State Police and Berlin Police Departments prepared the operation that was designed to locate and take into custody violent offenders who were wanted on arrest warrants.  The violent offenders targeted were wanted for charges that affected the quality of life in the Town of Berlin.  Berlin Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald and State Police Colonel Thomas Davoren assigned personnel to formulate the law enforcement teams to conduct this warrant sweep in Berlin and surrounding communities.

   Also assisting in this operation were members of the State Police Statewide Narcotics Task Force, New Britain Police, Meriden Police, and Waterbury Police. Other agencies assisting were Judicial Marshals, Adult Probation, and the Department of Corrections.   

   Berlin Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said “I applaud all of the law enforcement agencies who came together to work with the Berlin Police Department in an effort  to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Berlin and to extend the blanket of public safety for our citizens”.

   Colonel Thomas Davoren the Commanding Officer of the Connecticut State Police said “Working with the Berlin Police Department and the other agencies on this warrant sweep is certainly a great example of the effort by the State Police to work hand in hand with municipal police departments to remove wanted people from the streets who have a negative impact in our cities and towns."
