Suffield Police Dispatcher Reportedly Cleared of Wrongdoing

It appears that there is some progress with the investigation into Suffield Police allegations that a police dispatcher was drunk on the job.

The first of a two-part investigation has been completed and ready for review, according to a WFSB report.

The dispatcher, who remains on the job, has been cleared of wrongdoing and was found to have been fit for duty, Town Attorney Joseph Flynn told the station.

WFSB reports that the first part of the report was completed by Police Chief Michael Manzi and a captain. The police union sought an independent review of the actions of the chief and captain after they received the officers’ complaints.
