Officer Pamela Young filed a lawsuit in October 2019 alleging workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, and a hostile work environment. She claimed that after being promoted to sergeant in July 2017, she faced increased scrutiny and unequal treatment, including an extended probationary period and excessive disciplinary actions compared to male counterparts. In July 2018, she was demoted following an incident involving a medical emergency at a local hotel. The Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities found no just cause for the extension of her probationary period or the written reprimand that led to her demotion. Young alleged that the discrimination began after the end of a romantic relationship with Chief Denise Lamontagne. She sought restoration to her previous rank, lost wages, and damages for emotional distress.
