Online Athens Police Blotter 2022: A Year in Review

As we wrap up another year, the Athens Police Department has been busy keeping our community safe and responding to a wide range of calls. From stolen vehicles to suspicious activity, our dedicated officers have worked tirelessly to protect and serve.

One notable incident occurred on State Route 13, where deputies responded to a report of a stolen four-wheeler. After arriving on the scene, an investigation was launched, and the case remains pending.

Another complaint came in regarding a person breaking and entering into a residence on Columbus Road. Deputies quickly responded to the call and are continuing to investigate this incident.

In addition to these incidents, deputies have also been busy handling other types of calls, including a report from a resident of Harrison Drive who said they had loaned their vehicle to a friend that was subsequently stolen and crashed.

The Athens Police Department is committed to providing top-notch service to our community. We are proud to be accredited by the Commission on Law Enforcement Accreditation (CALEA) as well as Tier III Accreditation by the Connecticut Police Officers Standards and Training Council.

Our department is led by Police Chief James Walsh, Deputy Chief Joseph Dinho, Deputy Chief Melissa Lepore, and Deputy Chief Terrence Blake. Together, they work closely with other city officials, including City Mayor Harry Rilling, Commissioner Fran Collier-Clemmons, and Commissioner Tony Lopez to ensure the safety and well-being of our citizens.

The Norwalk Department of Police Services also offers a range of community services and crime prevention programs, aimed at keeping our neighborhoods safe and strong. From driver's education courses to high-visibility patrols, we are committed to being a proactive force for good in our community.

As we look back on the past year, it is clear that our police department has been busy serving and protecting our city. We are proud of the work we do every day, and we will continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of our service.
