Suffield Democratic Town Committee
Kristina Hallett – Police Commission
Dr. Hallett is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years experience working in public institutions and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, compassion and common- sense solutions to issues. Dr. Hallett has served on the Suffield Police Commission since Fall 2021. She initially implemented the move to get all Police Commission meetings online and fully available to the public (followed by SPD leadership gaining a grant to pay for the technology). She is the sole Commissioner to have never missed a meeting during
her tenure, as she is dedicated to this work. She has spent time with all officers, doing full-shift ride-alongs on all 3 shifts and regularly checks in with both SPD officers and leadership. She brings her expertise in working with police and first responders to her position, utilizing these skills to enhance and support initiatives that welcome and benefit all town residents and the SPD.
When running in 2021, she promised to do the following and has delivered on each of these:
- Attend the Board of Finance meetings to support the Police Department budget and advocate for what the SPD needs
- Participate in the @Pedestrian and Safety Traffic Infastructure Committee to make sure that we are attending to the needs of ALL parts of our #safetyfirst
- Participate in the Suffield Local Prevention Council to increase awareness of #mentalhealth and #substanceabuse
- Provide support and training in #wellness and #Resilience to our department (one of my personal goals!)
- Promote the implementation of the #DaigleImplementationStudy to support the most efficient and effective functioning of the Suffield CT Police Department
- Participate in the Suffield, Connecticut Board of Selectmen meetings to bring visibility and awareness of the SPD needs and concerns (#public comment MATTERS!)
- Review, comment and vote for the #Suffield Charter Review Commission recommendations
- Assess, consider and #support the needs of the Chief and officers of the Suffield CT Police Union
- Review and interview excellent candidates for the @Suffield CT Police Department so we have a FULL and complete complement of officers
