Happy New Year!

We were pleased to drop off dinner on New Year’s Eve for the team at the Southwest Regional Communications Center (CMED).

Our dispatchers and 911 call takers play a critical role in helping us respond quickly to EMS calls and providing over-the-phone instructions so care can begin immediately. Thank you for everything you do—we appreciate you.

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.

Yesterday we got to hang out with one of the best boys around: Thor the therapy dog! We appreciate all of the snuggles and pets he let us give him during our CPR training and fit tests. Hopefully he’ll be back soon! 🦮❤️
