The unofficial kick-off to summer has arrived. That means people will be getting together across Connecticut to celebrate this Memorial Day Weekend. It also means Troopers will be out in full force to crack down on people driving under the influence.
"I’ve gone to many families’ houses and had to give them the notice that their loved one is no longer coming home as a result of a DUI accident," said Trooper Alex Riccardi of Troop H in Hartford, who issued two speeding tickets on I-91 Wednesday afternoon while Fox61 was along for the ride.

The Connecticut State Police (CSP) are the only agency in the USA, Canada, Europe and anywhere in the modern world where the patrol fleet, their entire fleet, has no overt high visibility markings. The CSP has no specific identifiable license plate, striping, no anti-collision chevrons, no badging or graphics, no roof mounted warning lights that allow easy recognition and identification from a distance during any weather or ambient lighting condition. By marking their cruisers the CSP would have the affect of appearing more ubiquitous than they are. The CSP will say we have lights. The lights are at the discretion of the operator, the other vehicle markings mentioned is what is missing and should be required by legislative action if not department proactivity. A Mass state police study, the Feds, Arizona DPS and others have indicated the importance of vehicle markings for the officer and the public. - Discuss.
