Background

About Ryan Goggins

The Connecticut State Police survived challenges of all kinds and it has reacted admirably, professionally and responsibly to diversified assignments, whether it be man-made or natural disasters, public demonstrations, riots or protecting presidents. No longer is it the department's single most important duty to chase down a bootlegger, raid a still, or pinch someone who rustled a farmer's cow. Polygraph, Connecticut On-Line Law Enforcement Communication Teleprocessing, Canine Unit, Firearms Range, and D.A.R.E.(training of state and local officers in drug awareness) Helicopters, and Advanced Forensics are among other features added by the department over the years. It is a department of troops and troopers instead of stations and officers; it is the department that has sacrificed willingly the lives of 19 troopers and two auxiliary troopers to the preservation and protection of people living in or traveling through Connecticut; it is the department of (approximately) dedicated soldiers of the law who wear the gray Stetson; it is a department ready to answer the challenges of the new millennium.
