Disciplinary Actions Overview – New Haven Police Department

Over the past decade, the New Haven Police Department has faced several high-profile incidents leading to disciplinary actions. Notably, the 2022 case involving Richard ‘Randy’ Cox resulted in the firing of four officers and the retirement of a fifth. The department has since revised its transportation policies, emphasizing the use of seat belts and the monitoring of individuals in custody. Additionally, the Connecticut legislature passed bills mandating seat belt use during transport and requiring officers to request emergency services for individuals in medical distress. These measures aim to prevent future incidents and ensure accountability within the department.
