An internal investigation by the Connecticut State Police found that four officers entered hundreds of fake tickets into agencies’ records systems in 2018 in an attempt to improve their productivity. Investigators believed the officers’ actions may have been criminal offenses, but did not alert prosecutors to the results of their investigation. Chief State’s Attorney Patrick Griffin said he only discovered the scheme in late 2022, years after the investigation, when a local newspaper began asking questions about it. Griffin opened a criminal investigation at the time, but recently said the officers will not face charges because the statute of limitations has expired. Two of the soldiers retired without punishment and are each collecting nearly $70,000 in annual pensions; the other two received brief suspensions – one for 10 days and the other for two days – before being transferred to new units.
