The Stratfield Village Association would like to give a big thanks to Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara and his team for their time and input at last night's meeting. It was a great meeting, filled with information and insight on how we can work together and support the Fairfield Police Department to continue to keep our neighborhood safe and as crime-free as possible.
The SVA would also like to thank CT State Representative Cristin McCarthy Vahey for helping us coordinate this meeting and all the elected officials who attended and participated including State Senator Tony Hwang, State Rep Laura Devlin, Stratfield RTM representatives Phil Pires and Marcy Spolyar and Elizabeth Zezima from the Board of Finance.
Key takeaways from the meeting include:
- Lock your car and take your belongings with you- most of today's car thieves don't smash windows for entry, they look for unlocked cars
- Anyone coming to your door to sell something (aside from Girl Scouts, non-profits, politicians, etc) are now required to register with the town in advance and obtain a transient merchant badge, if they don't have one on them they are not legit
- If you see anything out of the ordinary in the neighborhood do not hesitate to call the Fairfield Police Department- it is not a bother for them, they are actively looking for insight from residents
- Almost 100% of the thefts/robberies/burglaries the FPD are seeing these days are drug related- people with opioid addictions who are stealing to fuel their habit
-The FPD is happy to participate in neighborhood watch meetings with specific streets or neighborhoods to help residents recognize and deter crimePlease plan to attend tonight's SVA Community Meeting with Fairfield's Chief of Police at 7:30pm at the Stratfield Elementary library!!!
