The WHPD has recently launched a new Community Resource Officer's pilot
program. The program is described by clicking the new "Community
Resource Officers" link above.
Applications for the position of entry level police officer will be
available at the West Haven Police Department beginning on June 28, 2010.
The application process will be administered by the South Central Criminal
Justice Administration (SCCJA). All completed applications must be
returned to the South Central Criminal Justice Administration by the
deadline on the application.
On June 17, 2010 the West Haven Police Department was presented with a
2010 COMMON/IBM Innovation Award in the small and midsized category.
This award was given for the WHPD's innovative approach in the ability to
receive booking information which includes photos and other important
details, to the patrol cars within seconds.
In the 50 year history of the IBM COMMON expo, this was the first time a
police department has received an award let alone an agency other than a
"business" being awarded such an honor.
Chief John Karajanis accepted the award from Mary Rooney-Lucas, president
of DCS Inc., at a press conference held at the police station on Thursday.
