TRUMBULL The town’s police chief says Connecticut’s modified law enforcement accountability bill is more “reasonable.”
Gov. Ned Lamont signed the revised Public Act 21-4 into law on March 31.
“So, the legislature made changes in the wording and it’s, in my opinion, much more reasonable,” Trumbull Police Chief Michael Lombardo said this week during the police commission meeting.
“I’m not saying there weren’t areas for improvement, there always are. However, it still needs to be reasonable for a person to be able to function and keep themselves as safe as they can, while safeguarding others that they’re responsible for.”
