We extend our deepest sympathies to the Monroe CT Police Department at the passing of Officer Brennan. He had a deep impact throughout the town and we send our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

With profound sadness, the Monroe Police Department announces the passing of retired police officer and current Civilian Accreditation Manager Daniel Brennan on Friday evening, October 31, 2025. Dan devoted 49 years of his life to the Town of Monroe and the Monroe Police Department.

Dan began his law enforcement career with the Monroe Police Department in 1976, serving until his retirement in 2005. During that time, he worked primarily in the Support Services Division, where he excelled in policy writing, operational procedure development, and administrative leadership. Under his leadership, Dan helped the Department reach the highest accreditation standard the State grants, at the time being only 1 of 2 agencies to attain that recognition. Upon returning as Civilian Accreditation Manager in 2006, he continued to lead the department’s accreditation program with unwavering dedication and expertise, becoming the go-to-guy for other agencies in the State that had questions.

Dan always had the department’s best interests at heart, proudly representing us at countless events and with numerous organizations. The Monroe Police Department thanks Dan for his years of dedication and friendship, he will truly be missed.

Arrangements: A visitation will be held at Spadaccino and Leo P. Gallagher & Son Community Funeral Home, located at 315 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe, CT 06468, on November 5, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at Saint Jude Parish Church, 707 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe, CT 06468, on November 6, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Complete obituary to be posted soon.

Say hi to Connor, one of our newest cleared trainers here at Monroe EMS!

Connor T. | Membership Spotlight

Hometown: Monroe, Connecticut

Number of years with the department: I just completed my first year of being a cleared EMT (September 18th)

Position(s): I am an EMT Trainer and on the executive board and hold the position of equipment manager

List a few reasons why you volunteer at Monroe EMS: I love being a part of the community and having the ability to make a tangible difference. The station is close to my house and it’s easy for me to help get an extra ambulance going when the town gets busy! I’ve applied to medical school and plan to become an Emergency Medicine Physician and this has been a fantastic way to get real world experience while helping out the town.

What do you do when you’re not volunteering: I graduated from UConn in 2024 and have spent the last year studying for the MCAT and tutoring when not at Monroe EMS. I love playing tennis when I get the chance and when the weather is nice.

A memorable call or good story about your service at Monroe EMS: I live close to a man with Alzheimer’s and I’ve been able to consistently be his EMT. He recognizes me and it is nice being able to be a calming presence for someone when they need help.

This week, 13 of our volunteer members are attending EMS & FIRE PRO Expo where EMS providers gather to learn the latest in emergency care, strengthen our skills, and celebrate the camaraderie that makes our work possible.

Monroe EMS extends our heartfelt condolences to retired member Kim Cassia on the passing of her husband, Dennis Cassia.
Dennis faithfully served the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department for over 40 years as a Life Member and Past Assistant Chief, and was honored in the CT State Firefighters Association Hall of Fame. He leaves behind a legacy of service and dedication to the community.
Our thoughts are with Kim and the Cassia family during this difficult time.

💙 Supporting Joe & His Family 💙

Joe has been a dedicated member of Monroe Volunteer EMS for several years, giving thousands of hours in service to our community. He is also currently in the police academy, continuing his commitment to helping others.

Recently, Joe’s father was hospitalized. While he is now recovering, this has been a challenging time for their family. To ease their load, we’re organizing a meal train to support them.

Please consider signing up to provide a meal and show our appreciation for all Joe has done for Monroe. There are also options to provide meal delivery service gift cards if you prefer. Thank you Monroe!

Our Story

Established in 1977, MVEMS is a volunteer, state certified Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance service which serves Monroe's community of around 20,000 people and responds to approximately 1,500 medical emergencies each year. The MVEMS membership is comprised of a majority of Connecticut and National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certified EMTs. The remaining members are Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs), trained in BLS CPR and advanced first aid assist to assist their EMT partners.

In addition to its volunteers, MVEMS contracts a paramedic from Valley Emergency Medical Services stationed at EMS Headquarters 24/7 ready to respond to life-threatening medical emergencies. MVEMS currently provides emergency care for the Town of Monroe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, throughout the entire calendar year. Members annually volunteer more than 20,000 hours of community service.

In addition to providing the town's emergency medical service, MVEMS sponsors various training opportunities for the town. Every year MVEMS conducts an EMT-Basic class which allows members of the community, surrounding towns, and the town Firemen, to become NREMT and Connecticut certified EMT's. MVEMS also provides a series of courses to the public including AHA CPR, Stop the Bleed, and First Aid to enhance community medical education.
