History

The Connecticut State Police Department was established in 1903; the Resident Trooper Program was established in 1947. The purpose of the program is to provide towns located at considerable distance from the nearest State Police Trooper, with additional police coverage.

Each Resident Trooper was required to reside within the town and was expected to maintain an office and telephone at his private residence and received calls at their home 24 hours a day.

Today, all Resident Trooper offices have been moved from private residence to a town owned building. At the present time most Resident Troopers work a schedule that best fits the town's needs and the the town manager's needs. At the present time, the town of East Haddam has two Resident Troopers, and eight Constables. All the Officers associated with the Resident Trooper office are scheduled days and evening hours.

Although the Resident Trooper Program has evolved considerably since its inception, today's program still has much in common with the original program, including the purpose of the program itself. The program is designed to bring personalized police service to the town. The Resident Trooper is a law enforcement professional who provides an immediate, direct link to the Troop Commander and to all the services provided within the Connecticut State Police Department. The Resident Trooper Program has a demonstrated history of providing the most professional and economical police service to the towns in Connecticut.

Here are some of the services the Resident Trooper Program brings to the town:
Troop field force | Aviation Unit | SWAT Unit | Canine Unit | Bomb Unit | Gangs Unit | Narcotics Unit | Forensic Lab | DWI. Squads | Detective Unit | Major Crime Unit | Polygraph Unit, and many more.

In summary, the Resident Trooper Program provides many benefits to the town it serves. The Resident Trooper Program has gained both the admiration and respect of State Police Departments across the country as a better way of providing law enforcement to its citizens.
