Bridgeport Mayor, Police Chief Promote 16 Police Officers

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch and Police Chief Joseph Gaudett Jr. promoted two lieutenants and 14 sergeants as the police department continues to bolster its supervisory ranks.

"What you do every day is so important," said Mayor Finch. "You keep our kids and families safe by working with the community. And we have seen the results of that hard work. Today, Bridgeport is a safer place than it has been in a generation. We still have work to do, but I am proud of what we have accomplished."

Several hundred people attended the promotional ceremony in City Hall last Thursday. 

"We are standing here looking at the future of the Bridgeport Police Department. You are our newest leaders. With that comes responsibility," said Gaudett. "I know you are up to the challenge."

Brian Dickerson and Jeffrey Grice were promoted to lieutenant.

Promoted to sergeant were: Stacey Lyons, Trevor Niestemski, Frank Jacobellis, William Simpson, Scott Waehler, Paul Scillia, Ivan Delgado, Lawrence Lazaro Jr., Eric Schneider, Bernard Webb, Jonathan Duharte, Adam Rozum, Christopher Robinson and Gabor Meszaros.
