David Rosado is a Hartford native who spent two decades with the Connecticut state police. In February he became Hartford’s new Police Chief.
This hour, Chief Rosado will join us in studio. We ask him about what it’s like to return home as the top cop in the city where he grew up.
Nationwide, Americans continue to examine their relationship with the police as communities respond to an ever-growing list of police shootings of unarmed men and women of color.
We'll ask the chief: how can Hartford cops build trust with the community in light of a recent incident that has thrown that trust into question?
We want to hear from you. What do you want to ask Police Chief Rosado?
