From the City of Hartford Office of Communications and

For Immediate Release: Thursday, June 14, 2012
MAYOR SEGARRA
AND CHIEF ROVELLA
“ON THE BEAT” ON FRIDAY, JUNE 15
Will Meet and Visit with Residents and Business Owners
(June 14, 2012) --- Mayor Pedro E.
Segarra and Interim Chief James Rovella announced today that they will begin
“On the Beat” this
Friday, June 15 at about 8:00PM. Mayor Segarra started “On
the Beat” last summer with then Chief Daryl K.
Roberts to directly engage with residents and business owners throughout
Connecticut’s Capital City and discuss public safety, security or any other
concerns in a private and direct setting.
“This is an initiative that I am incredibly
proud of and am happy to be moving it forward for a second year. No
issue is more important than public safety. Job creation, a good
education, expanding homeownership and increasing vibrancy and excitement
throughout our great City are all predicated on making sure that people feel
safe and are safe. Being able to engage in serious and constructive
conversations with residents, visitors and business owners is critical to
building relationships, hearing and resolving complaints and enhancing the
success of our community policing plan,” said Mayor Segarra.
Chief Rovella added, “As a 20 year veteran of
the Hartford Police Department, and Chief Inspector for the Division of
Criminal Justice, I know first-hand the importance of communicating directly
and face-to-face with the community and building trust. I firmly
believe that consistent, direct engagement by Hartford’s leaders and public
safety personnel will pay significant dividends for Hartford.”
Mayor Segarra and Chief
Rovella will meet in front of City Hall at 8PM on Friday and will be
immediately available for press and media interviews. They will also
be available throughout the evening. To arrange a time to meet
with Mayor Segarra and Chief Rovella on Friday night, please call Jared
Kupiec, Chief of Staff and Acting Director of Communications and New Media,
at 860-692-2711.
