Police say in response to my inquiry: “Incidents of significance are reported to the public via social media and/or through media”. THEN WHY WASN’T THIS ROBBERY AND PURSUIT POSTED? It appears to be a full lack of transparency at the Bridgeport Police Department. What else is happening that I don’t know to ask about? Why isn’t the Bridgeport Police more forthcoming with crimes LIKE ALL THE OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN OUR AREA?
Police UPDATE:
“At approximately 18:16hrs, a juvenile, reported his bicycle, IPhone 12, and headphones, were stolen allegedly at gunpoint by four (4) black males wearing ski masks on East Main Street. The victim stated he was knocked off his bike and his phone and headphones taken, he stated one of the suspects sped off with the bicycle north on Kossuth Street while others got into a vehicle. A broadcast of the vehicle’s description was put out over the air. At approximately 20:41hrs, BPD observed a vehicle matching the description on Iranistan and Benham and gave chase. A police pursuit continued on I95 towards Milford but was called off a short time later by BPD. This is currently an active investigation.
No business was robbed so uncertain where that derived. As stated, the incident is still under investigation and if any information is confirmed we will alert the public but right now PD is gathering any and all factual information at this time.
As stated in previous emails, all calls of significance are reported to the public when confirmation of an actual incident is approved by BPD. All media under law are certainly allowed access to police reports as described in Sec. 1-210. (Formerly Sec. 1-19). Access to public records. However; there are Exempt Records meeting various criteria within this law that cannot be shared until confirmed. These are the guidelines that we are governed. Incidents of significance are reported to the public via social media and/or through media. The Public can follow our City’s social media and or sign up for alerts like the media to receive late breaking incidents, if desired. We should in fact let the public know of this again”.
