Please note, the Town of Killingly does not currently outfit its Resident Troopers or Police Officers/Constables with body cameras. When asked about the policy the Resident Trooper's office replied "not yet, we're working on it", then the call was abruptly disconnected. Hoping to obtain more information, a call was placed to the Killingly Town Manager's office. Jan answered the call, but could not offer much information regarding which town position or department would be able to respond to further inquiry. She asked if this call was from a newspaper, and I explained that I am a curious/concerned resident. When pushed for an answer, she did state that the Resident Trooper and Police Officers/Constables are the Town Manager's responsibility, but vaguely added that Troop D, CT State Police also share policy and procedure. Unable to provide specific information about body worn camera policy, Jan took my name and number to have "someone" call me with more information. Two days have passed without a return call. If you're wondering, surrounding towns, Putnam and Plainfield do require their officers to wear body cameras. RESIDENT TROOPER AND KILLINGLY POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTACT INFO.
