Madison Police Department
Accreditation Public Comment Portal – NEW
The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding both the Madison Police Department and the Madison Emergency Communications Center compliance with CALEA standards, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide the Madison Police Department with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence.
IMPORTANT: CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgement to submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA® Accreditation.
On Monday, September 19, 2022 at a special ceremony, the Madison Police Department swore-in three new officers. The three new officers’ name and information are as follows:

- Avery LaChance - Graduated from the University of New Haven with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice.
- John Terray - Graduated from the University of New Haven with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice.
These officers will start the Connecticut Police Academy in Meriden, Connecticut on Thursday, September 22, 2022. While at the Academy, they will be trained in over (1345) hours of various Police Topics. They are expected to graduate in April 2023. Upon graduation, they will participate in a Field Training program where they will ride-along with veteran Madison Police Officers for over (400) hours where they will learn how to implement all that they have learned at the Police Academy to real-life situations.
The Administration and the Men and Women of the Madison Police Department are proud of their work with the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project and we whole heartedly condemn injustice in any form. The Mission of the Madison Police Department is that in partnership with the community, the Police Department shall provide high quality, professional and effective police service with courtesy, integrity and respect.

Social Security Administration Alerts Public about Telephone Impersonation Scheme
The Social Security Administration (SSA) and its Office of the Inspector General (OIG) launched a joint Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign addressing a nationwide telephone impersonation scheme. Social Security and the OIG continue to receive reports from across the country about fraudulent phone calls from people falsely claiming to be Social Security employees. Calls can even “spoof” Social Security’s national customer service number as the incoming number on the caller ID. The new PSAs will air on TV and radio stations across the country to alert the public to remain vigilant against potential fraud.
“We urge you to always be cautious and to avoid providing sensitive information such as your Social Security number or bank account information to unknown people over the phone or Internet,” said Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. “If you receive a call and are not expecting one, you must be extra careful – you can always get the caller’s information, hang up, and contact the official phone number of the business or agency the caller claims to represent. Do not reveal personal data to a stranger who calls you.”
Social Security employees do occasionally contact people--generally those who have ongoing business with the agency--by telephone for business purposes. However, Social Security employees will never threaten a person or promise a Social Security benefit approval, or increase, in exchange for information. In those cases, the call is fraudulent and people should not engage with the caller. If a person receives these calls, he or she should report the information to the OIG Fraud Hotline at 1-800-269-0271 or online at https://oig.ssa.gov/report.
“These calls appear to be happening across the country, so we appreciate SSA’s partnership in this national public outreach effort,” said Gail S. Ennis, the Inspector General for the Social Security Administration. “Our message to the public is simply this: If you or someone you know receives a questionable call claiming to be from SSA or the OIG, just hang up.”
