The city's former chief of police is now deputy chief of police at Southern Connecticut State University.
To the Editor:
Middletown Republican Common Council Minority Leader Philip J. Pessina was re-elected last Election Day.
In addition to being a councilman, he works for the Southern Connecticut State University Police Department, as deputy chief of police. Also, a long time ago, he worked for the Middletown Police Department as deputy chief of police (33 1/2 years of service with Middletown Police; retiring in February 2007).
He works with other people on the common council as well. The council has meetings that are open to the public that people can go and speak during public comment.
