The Trumbull Police Department, Trumbull Police Commission Chairman Raymond G. Baldwin, Jr., Trumbull First Selectman Vicki Tesoro and Trumbull Town Council Chairman, Marybeth Thornton denounce the actions and inactions of the Minneapolis police officers who were involved in the George Floyd incident. The Trumbull Police Department stands with the many police agencies throughout Connecticut and the nation who condemn the actions of the Minneapolis police officers, in this case.

The practices seen in this incident are inconsistent with basic humanity and violate each individual’s given rights and protections. The Trumbull Police Department will always strive to provide quality professional police services, protecting the rights of all members of the community. We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards engaging community members in open dialogue, inclusive of diversity, seeking to always communicate.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of George Floyd and all who have been affected by this horrible tragedy.
