EAST HAVEN – Today, State Senator Christine Cohen issued a statement in response to the attack on an East Haven Police Officer over the weekend.
“In the strongest possible terms, I condemn the attack on an East Haven police officer over the weekend. As Senate Chair of the Transportation Committee, I have worked closely with law enforcement to ensure they can properly address dangerous and frightening street takeovers. To see these acts committed against a responding officer is unacceptable and I want to see these individuals prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
My thoughts are with this police officer and their family, as well as those across the district. Everytime they put on their uniform, our men and women in blue risk their lives to keep us safe. That sacrifice, and that of their families, deserves our utmost respect.”
Senator Cohen represents parts of East Haven, as well as Branford, Durham, Guilford, Killingworth, Madison and parts of North Branford, Durham, Middlefield and Rockfall.
