It’s Our Town
The ballots in the OurGreenwich.com “straw poll” will be kept open until the new GPD Captains are chosen. Vote by clicking here: “straw poll.”
In the early results are close with the top six (in alphabetical order) being Lieutenants T. Berry, Gustovich, Heavey, Honulik, Kordick and Marino.
The following information from the Greenwich Police Burglary Clearance Squad was disseminated by the Community Impact Office of the GPD.
Residents are asked to be aware of a current series of burglaries that are occurring predominantly throughout the back country areas of town.
These burglaries are occuring to unoccupied homes during the early evening hours. It is important from a prevention perspective to have your home appear occupied. This can be accomplished by keeping lights and radios on timers, installing motion activated exterior lighting and keeping your shades drawn. It is also important to pick up your mail and newspapers promptly, and keeping the exterior of your home free or debris, and cleared as the season requires. Establishing open communications with your neighbors often can provide support in your absence, and increase awareness relative to the normal activities associated with your home.
Please remember to set your alarms and lock your doors.
Please pass this information on to others. Thanks you.
Please immediately report any suspicious activity to the Greenwich Police Department at 203-622-8001. For crimes in progress, dial 911.
With the promotion of four GPD Lieutenants to Captain to happen shortly, many are speculating who the “final four” will be. The straw-poll lists all 13 GPD Lieutenants in alphabetical order, even though some did not apply for the Captain positions, and others were eliminated in the first round of testing or withdrew.

For some time I have been recommending that our readers listen to Greenwich police, fire and GEMS dispatch live at Tom Alessi ScanGreemwich.com website.
Well, the website has a new feature — an archive of some past calls. The first archived police call occurred last month, involving an armed man in Greenwich and it is an excellent example of the drama faced by our police officers. Moreover, it is a vivid demonstration of the life-threatening risks our Greenwich police could face at any moment.
Without revealing the entire plot, you can listen to the call coming in, the command supervisor (Car “61″) arriving on the scene, initiating a “Code Alpha” alert to all GPD units, the police mobilizing the GPD nationally recognized and award winning sniper, Chris Girard, positioning a team from GEMS in a staging area near-by, the arrival of police back-up, the Supervising hearing the crack of a gunshot, and the ensuing drama.
It is Greenwich’s own “reality” show — a true life and death story. It illustrates the professionalism of GPD — the calm, reasoned demeanor that comes with years of training and experience. It shows the teamwork, the stresses, the instantaneous decision making.
