By |

Two New Canaan police officers recently helped an elderly resident who been scammed out of $145,000 recover the money, officials said. Police Chief Leon Krolikowski during last week’s Police Commission meeting spotlighted a letter of appreciation regarding the work that Officers Joseph Schinella and Owen Ochs did on what the chief called a “pretty exceptional” case. “It’s a constant battle,” Krolikowski told members of the Police Commission during their Sept. 21 meeting, referring to scams that often target older residents.

By |

Officials on Thursday swore in four new officers of the New Canaan Police Department during a well-attended ceremony at Town Hall. Selected from a field of 50 applicants for entry-level police officer positions, Emily Clark, Erin McCarthy, Joseph Schinella and Giancarlo Vincenzi were selected to attend the State of Connecticut Police Academy next month and then begin field training in New Canaan in January, Police Chief Leon Krolikowski said. “Today is a very special day that began months ago,” he said during the ceremony, held in a board room at Town Hall. “Many challenges and changes lie ahead for our department and our profession but with individuals like Erin, Emily, Joseph, and Giancarlo joining our ranks, I see great success as we fulfill our mission to protect and serve the town of New Canaan,” the chief said. Town Clerk Claudia Weber swore them in.
