Cutting $4M in OT a steep challenge for CT state police

HARTFORD — From reducing state police trooper shortages and overtime to reorganizing key units, state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection Commissioner James Rovella told members of the Appropriations Committee this week that he’s committed to living within Gov. Ned Lamont’s proposed budget. But he also admitted that it isn’t going to be easy keeping troopers on the road while cutting overtime. “Realistically, it’s going to be quite the challenge,” he said of cutting $4 million in overtime from the 2020 budget. Rovella appeared before committee members Tuesday as part of its budget deliberations.
