MAYOR HARP ACCEPTS RESIGNATION OF NHPD

CHIEF ESSERMAN, EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 2ND;

SAYS IT FOLLOWS SUCCESSFUL, 5-YEAR TENURE

 

ASSISTANT CHIEF CAMPBELL TO STAY ON AS INTERIM CHIEF

 

New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp announced today that by mutual agreement, Chief of Police Dean Esserman has resigned his position, effective September 2nd. Mayor Harp and Chief Esserman agree this decision follows a process in which the best interests of New Haven remained first and foremost.

 

“Crime and violence have steadily and consistently decreased in New Haven throughout the nearly five years of Chief Esserman’s tenure and I’m grateful for the chief’s successful legacy,” Mayor Harp said. “Public safety in New Haven is improved after a return to grass roots community policing, productive partnerships with other law enforcement agencies, and positive interaction with community organizations.”

 

“Weekly, data-driven review and analysis of police activity is combined with an expanded use of technology to make New Haven a safer community – trust continues to grow between police officers and the communities they serve,” Mayor Harp added. “Residents and visitors feel safer and in fact are safer as a result.”

 

“It has been a privilege to serve Mayor Harp and work alongside the remarkable men and women of the New Haven Department of Police Service, who no doubt have earned the title, ‘New Haven’s Finest,’” Chief Esserman said. “Last and certainly not least, it has been my privilege to serve the wonderful people of New Haven – I am so very grateful for having had this opportunity to do so.”

 

“I am confident in the future of the New Haven Police Department because of the excellent leadership, command staff, supervisors, detectives, and patrol officers who serve; day and night they earn the respect and gratitude of those who live in and visit New Haven,” Chief Esserman added.

 

Mayor Harp said Assistant Chief Anthony Campbell will continue to serve as Interim Chief of Police.
