HPD Union President: “Do Not Forget to Put in for Overtime/Comp Time.”

Here’s a searing light on the intractable challenge of getting Hartford’s operating costs under control. The mayor, Luke Bronin, is holding meetings with employees to assist them in understanding what Hartford faces at its appointment with critical decisions this spring. Members of the Hartford Police Department are urged to attend one for them by their chief and the head of the police union.

The meeting is this afternoon. The president of the police union adds a sentence that reveals the wrenching ordeal ahead: “All off-duty personnel who attend, please do not forget to put in for overtime/comp time.”
