NORWICH - In the wake of a horrific pit bull attack in Norwich, police officials are still deciding if and when to issue a dog destruction order for the animal, a process that in other local cases became drawn-out affairs involving state and court appeals. A male mixed-breed pit bull was transferred to the city’s animal control facility on Monday night after police said the animal mauled a month-old baby, Carter Settles, to death inside a McKinley Avenue residence. 10-day quarantine Per state statute, a dog that bites a person must be quarantined for 10 days - that span was reduced from 14 days in 2019 - in a public pound, veterinary hospital or place approved by the state Department of Agriculture commissioner to ensure the animal does not have rabies and to examine the dog s demeanor.
Scammers are going to scam. Whenever a natural disaster strikes or national tragedy erupts, con artists usually aren’t far behind, poised to separate residents from their money and personal information. And the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and ramp-up of vaccinations are another opportunity for such fraud, local police and health department officials warn. In Norwich this week, police Chief Patrick Daley and Uncas Health District Director of Health Patrick McCormack released statements on possible phone and internet scams related to coronavirus vaccinations. Both agencies were made aware by citizens of scammers who pose as vaccinators and ask for sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers and bank information.
PLAINFIELD – At the very least, anyone now brought into Plainfield police headquarters after an arrest might be able to take solace in that they’re occupying brand-new jail cells. The three newly-renovated cells are now open for use after a two-week tear-down project that dissembled decades-old holding areas that police officials said were unsafe and fairly easy to break out of. “Those old cell doors were designed for use in hallways, as a way to partition off areas and not as actual cells,” Deputy Chief Will Wolfburg said. “They wouldn’t close properly, and we’ve had occasions when prisoners were able to manipulate the doors open.”
PLAINFIELD William Wolfburg Jr., an officer who rose from the ranks of the patrol and detective divisions, will become the new second-in-command of the Plainfield Police Department today. Wolfburg’s promotion, unanimously approved by the Police Commission Tuesday and effective March 1, fills a crucial vacancy left after the recent appointment of Mario Arriaga to the chief’s job. Wolfburg’s new duties will include overseeing professional standards reviewing civilian complaints against officers helping craft the department’s budget and updating policies. “And I’ll still be responding to calls,” he said. “I still miss patrol, even after six years. But I’ll still get to interact with the guys and the put my own spin on the job.”
