The '''Connecticut State Police''' ('''CSP''') is the [[State police (United States)|state police]] and [[highway patrol]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Connecticut]], responsible for statewide traffic regulation and law enforcement, especially in areas not served by (or served by smaller) [[municipal police]]. It is a division of the [[Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection]]. The CSP currently has about 875 troopers as of June 28, 2022, and is headquartered in [[Middletown, Connecticut]]. The Connecticut State Police is also responsible for protecting the [[Governor of Connecticut]], [[Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut]], and their families.

==History==

===Early history===
The Connecticut State Police was created under [[Connecticut House of Representatives|House Bill]] #247 on May 29, 1903. Initially, five men, paid three dollars a day, were hired to enforce state liquor and vice laws, making it one of the oldest State Police forces in the nation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cspmuseum.org/CMSLite/?CMSLite_Page=7&Info=History|title = Connecticut State Police Museum - History}}</ref> It was originally composed of five troopers primarily responsible for interdicting the production of [[moonshine]]. Early troopers traveled the state by railroad until automobile and motorcycle patrols were instituted, and troopers would often spend five to six days working, eating, and sleeping in the barracks constructed around the state. By 1924, seven such barracks had been built. The organization was [[Militarization of police|heavily militaristic]], and its internal culture was similar in this regard to other state police agencies in [[New England]].<ref name="CT Explored">{{cite web |last1=Karwowski |first1=Matthew |title=The Brotherhood of the State Police: Keeping One Step Ahead of the Bad Guys |url=https://www.ctexplored.org/the-brotherhood-of-the-state-police-keeping-one-step-ahead-of-the-bad-guys/ |website=ctexplored.org |date=10 February 2017 |publisher=Connecticut Explored |access-date=14 June 2019}}</ref>

===Modern history===
In 1968 [[Louise Smith (state trooper)|Louise Smith]] graduated from the State Police Academy becoming the first black woman to join a state police force in the United States.<ref name="Fox">{{cite web |last1=Staff |first1=Fox 61 |title=First ever African American female state trooper pushes for more women in uniform |url=https://fox61.com/2018/02/28/first-ever-african-american-female-state-trooper-pushes-for-more-women-in-uniform/ |website=fox61.com |date=March 2018 |publisher=Fox Connecticut |access-date=27 June 2019}}</ref>

In 1984 a federal judge found that the State Police systematically discriminated against minorities and ordered the State Police to increase the number of minorities in specialist positions as well as increase minority promotion rates.<ref name="CT Mirror 2018" />

In 1987 the Connecticut State Police were sued by the Connecticut chapter of Men and Women for Justice for discriminating against Black and Hispanic officers and officer candidates as well as other Civil Rights Act violations. The State Police chose to settle the case and made an agreement that the State Police would hire at least 10% Black and Hispanic officers, an accurate reflection of the State’s demographics in the early 1980s. In 2018 the hiring practices of the State Police remained the minimum allowed under their legally binding agreement with 5% of officers being Black and 5% being Hispanic despite Black and Hispanic Americans constituting over 25% of Connecticut's citizens in 2018.<ref name="CT Mirror 2018">{{cite web |last1=Radelat |first1=Ana |title=State police don't mirror CT when it comes to blacks, Hispanics |url=https://ctmirror.org/2016/06/27/state-police-dont-mirror-ct-when-it-comes-to-blacks-hispanics/ |website=ctmirror.org |date=27 June 2016 |publisher=CT Mirror |access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref>

In 1997 the Connecticut State Police was at the center of Connecticut Governor [[John G. Rowland]]’s Geargate scandal<ref>{{cite news |last1=Leigh Cowan |first1=Alison |title=Political Memo; The Antagonist Who Barraged Rowland With Criticism |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/29/nyregion/political-memo-the-antagonist-who-barraged-rowland-with-criticism.html?mtrref=www.google.com |website=[[The New York Times]] |date=29 June 2004 |access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref>  Surplus military equipment intended for the State Police was diverted by Rowland and close associates for their personal use. Equipment and apparel including sleeping bags, camouflage jackets, helmets, and a bayonet made their way into the hands of Rowland’s children, his staff, his security detail, and the husband of then Lt. Gov. Jodi Rell. The diversion was organized by State Trooper Eugene D’Angelo and was uncovered through a joint State Police and Department of Defense investigation.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lender |first1=Jon |title=SURPLUS GEAR WENT TO ROWLAND'S CHILDREN, STAFF |url=https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-1997-05-22-9705220328-story.html |website=courant.com |date=22 May 1997 |publisher=Hartford Courant |access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref>

In 2015 State Police Troop H and Troop C were among six Connecticut police departments singled out in a state report on [[racial bias]] in policing for having the most "significant disparities in their traffic stops data,” in particular traffic stop rates for Black and Hispanic drivers were much higher during the day when officers can easily visually establish the ethnicity of a driver before a stop than at night. The report was the most comprehensive report of its kind ever compiled by a state at the time of its release.<ref>{{cite web |last1=B. Hladky |first1=Gregory |title=State Report: Racial Disparities Found In Traffic Stops By Some Police Departments |url=https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-state-report-finds-significant-racial-disparities-for-police-traffic-stops-in-20150407-story.html |website=courant.com |date=8 April 2015 |publisher=The Hartford Courant |access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref>

On December 31, 2018, Stavros Mellekas took over as the commander of the Connecticut State Police, replacing George F. Battle.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Day |first1=Cassandra |title=Col. Stavros Mellekas to be installed as Connecticut State Police's new commander |url=https://www.middletownpress.com/middletown/article/Col-Stavros-Mellekas-to-be-installed-as-13500322.php |website=middletownpress.com |date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Middletown Press |access-date=13 June 2019}}</ref>

==== Fake ticketing scandal ====
In June 2023, following a news report revealed that four state troopers had fabricated hundreds of traffic stop tickets, an audit released by researchers at the [[University of Connecticut]] and [[Northeastern University]] found that nearly 26,000 reports made to the state's racial profiling database could not be corroborated, and that possibly over 58,000 falsified records were created.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Edison |first=Jaden |date=2023-06-28 |title=CT state troopers may have falsified over 25K tickets, report finds |url=http://ctmirror.org/2023/06/28/ct-state-police-troopers-false-traffic-tickets-report/ |access-date=2023-08-20 |website=[[The Connecticut Mirror]] |language=en-US}}</ref> The audit found that the State Police overreported traffic infractions that were said to involve [[White people|White]] non-[[Hispanic]] drivers, and underreported incidents which were said to involve [[Black people|Black]] or Hispanic drivers.<ref name=":0" /> State Police Colonel Stavros Mellekas said that the number of falsified records declined after 2018, and noted that no state resident received a fake ticket, but rather that state troopers made up fake traffic stops to skew information in the agency's racial profiling system.<ref name=":0" />

Upon its release, the report attracted concern from members of the [[Connecticut General Assembly]] and civil rights groups such as the [[American Civil Liberties Union|ACLU]], whose Connecticut chapter released a statement saying the ticket falsifications showed "breathtaking disrespect" for the state's ban on racial profiling, and efforts to reduce systemic racism in policing.<ref name=":0" />

By July, the scandal had drawn the scrutiny of numerous investigations. The [[Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection|Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection]], which oversees the Connecticut State Police, received a [[subpoena]] from the federal [[United States Department of Transportation|Department of Transportation]], and its Commissioner, James Rovella, stated that it could also receive an inquiry from the [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Edison |first=Jaden |date=2023-07-27 |title=CT state police false tickets scandal prompts state, federal inquiries |url=http://ctmirror.org/2023/07/26/ct-state-police-fake-tickets-scandal/ |access-date=2023-08-20 |website=[[The Connecticut Mirror]] |language=en-US}}</ref> Separately, governor [[Ned Lamont]] appointed [[Deirdre M. Daly|Deidre M. Daly]], a former federal prosecutor, to investigate how the misconduct occurred, how it went unreported for years, and how to prevent future misconduct.<ref name=":1" /> While this was happening, state officials placed an officer on [[administrative leave]] after he reported motorists he interacted with as [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] when they belonged to other [[Race and ethnicity in the United States|racial groups]].<ref name=":1" />

By August 4, the United States Department of Justice announced it was taking over the investigation into the scandal.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-08-04 |title=US DOJ taking over investigation of Connecticut State Police falsified ticket scandal |url=https://www.fox61.com/article/news/local/us-doj-investigation-state-police-falsified-ticket-scandal/520-a13c8b18-6dd1-4e18-b4f8-997ff45b2dd0 |access-date=2023-08-20 |website=[[WTIC-TV]] |language=en-US}}</ref> On August 10, the Connecticut State Police Union voted no confidence in the Commissioner of the Department of Emergency Services and Public Projection, James Rovella, and the Colonel of the Connecticut State Police, Stavros Mellekas.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Mahony |first=Edmund |date=2023-08-10 |title=Another CT state police union no-confidence vote as traffic ticket probe continues |url=https://www.courant.com/2023/08/10/another-ct-state-police-union-no-confidence-vote-as-traffic-ticket-probe-continues/ |access-date=2023-08-20 |website=[[Hartford Courant]] |language=en-US}}</ref> The President of the Connecticut State Police Union complained that the two officials "stood by idly, as you allowed others to publicly make false allegations, destroy the morale of our Troopers, and dismantle the reputation of the State Police".<ref name=":2" /> By this time, speculation over a [[Civil and political rights|civil rights]] component within the ongoing federal investigation began, as some lawyers commented that the federal government could enter into a [[consent decree]] with the state government if it found that the falsification of traffic stops was widespread enough to skew demographic data collected.<ref name=":2" />

==Weapons==
In 2012, CSP transitioned to the [[SIG Sauer P220|SIG Sauer P220R]] .45 ACP pistol.<ref>Collins, Dave. (2012-10-24) [https://www.boston.com/news/local/new-hampshire/2012/10/24/conn-state-police-getting-new-caliber-pistols/lt1UNfwRVD6pKgQuM2TFaK/story.html Conn. state police getting new .45-caliber pistols].

In June 2022, CSP began transitioning to the [[Glock#Glock 45|Glock 45]] [[9×19mm Parabellum|9mm]] fitted with a [[tactical light]] and night sights. Troopers also began carrying only two spare magazines as opposed to the three issued with the SIG P220R.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gagne |first1=Michael |title=Some Connecticut police are replacing a handgun that can reportedly fire without being triggered |url=https://www.newstimes.com/local/article/ct-police-sig-sauer-guns-safety-19404483.php |website=News-Times |language=en |quote=Connecticut State Police troopers assigned to patrol functions have now been issued the 9mm Glock G45, according to a state police spokesperson.

==Organization==
The Connecticut State Police is headquartered in [[Middletown, Connecticut]].<ref>[http://www.cspmail.com/trploc.html Connecticut State Police Troop Locations]. Cspmail.com. Retrieved on 2013-07-15.</ref>

===Troops===
The CSP is divided into 11 troops, each of which has a [[lieutenant]] troop commander, a [[master sergeant]] [[executive officer]], several patrol sergeants, a [[detective]] unit, and a full complement of personnel for patrol. The "resident troopers" in that troop area are also assigned to the troop. Additionally, each troop has its own dispatchers and clerical unit, and most have one or more mechanics to service the fleet.

Some troops, because of their location, are tasked primarily with [[highway patrol]] functions while other troops in more rural areas serve as [[rural police]], i.e.: response to crimes, patrol of towns and neighborhoods, and providing police services to many Connecticut towns that do not have police departments of their own. (Connecticut has no [[Sheriffs in the United States|County Sheriff Departments]]).

*Troop A – [[Southbury, Connecticut|Southbury]]
*Troop B – [[Canaan (CDP), Connecticut|Canaan]]
*Troop C – [[Tolland, Connecticut|Tolland]]
*Troop D – [[Danielson, Connecticut|Danielson]]

==Vehicles==
[[File:Connecticut State Police Cruiser Utility.jpg|thumb|A [[Ford Police Interceptor Utility]] used by the Connecticut State Police. Note the all-grey paint scheme and the lack of markings.]]
Uniquely, the CSP uses a fleet consisting almost entirely of [[unmarked police car]]s, most commonly in grey, with or without custom-marked detachable roof-mounted lightbars. The reason for their use of unmarked cars is ascribed to officers’ ability to take cars home and use them in a personal capacity where markings may not be desired.<ref>[https://www.cga.ct.gov/2000/rpt/2000-R-0922.htm]</ref> The models used by the CSP are most commonly typical police vehicles such as the [[Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor]], [[Ford Police Interceptor Sedan]], [[Ford Police Interceptor Utility]], [[Chevrolet Caprice]], and [[Dodge Charger (2005)|Dodge Charger]], but the CSP sometimes also uses vehicles not traditionally used by law enforcement, such as various assorted models from [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[Chevrolet]], [[Chrysler]], [[Dodge]], [[Ram pickup|Ram]], [[Buick]], [[Toyota]], and [[Mazda]].<ref>[http://hooniverse.com/2012/07/16/connecticut-state-police-mazda-mx-6/ Connecticut State Police Mazda MX-6 | Hooniverse]. Hooniverse.com (2012-07-16). Retrieved on 2013-07-15.</ref>
[[File:CT -SP Marked Unit.png|thumb|A marked [[Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor]] used by the Connecticut State Police for special purposes.]]
Though most of the CSP's fleet is unmarked, there are still vehicles that do have markings. Each troop is issued one marked car featuring a livery consisting of white with CSP badging on the doors and blue-and-yellow pinstripes running along the length of the car; these are typically used for ceremonial purposes, parades, or community patrols. CSP [[police motorcycle]]s are painted black with text identifying them as state trooper units on the sides and front windshield. CSP [[Police aviation|police helicopters]] use a livery of navy blue, black, maroon, and dark brown.

The CSP uses [[Radar speed gun|radar]], [[Lidar traffic enforcement|lidar]], and [[VASCAR]] systems for speed enforcement.{{Citation needed|date=June 2019}}

In September 2022, the CSP used a helicopter from the [[Massachusetts National Guard]] to locate illegal [[cannabis cultivation]] sites.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.wtnh.com/news/cannabis-in-connecticut/connecticut-state-police-using-helicopters-to-spot-illegal-marijuana-growers/amp/ | title=Connecticut State Police using helicopters to spot illegal marijuana growers | date=15 September 2022 }}</ref>
