Former Police Captain Mark Kordick was terminated in April 2020 after admitting to orchestrating the placement of political signs linking then-first selectman candidate Fred Camillo to President Donald Trump during the 2019 election. This act was deemed conduct unbecoming of an officer. Prior to this incident, Kordick faced multiple disciplinary actions: a one-week suspension without pay in 2015 for an undisclosed personnel matter, and unpaid leave in 2018 for hostile behavior at a town meeting. In 2023, the town settled a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Kordick for $650,000.
