The Business Liaison program is designed to work directly with the business community and citizens to strengthen the lines of communication and to heighten community partnership. Currently, the Department has two officers involved in the program. Officer Michael O'Sullivan and Officer Marc DeFelice meet with business owners, identify concerns, and generate common priorities between the private and public sectors. The Liaison Officers assist business owners and managers with common problems such as shoplifting and vandalism. They also advise on robbery prevention and fraud. The Business Liaison program also coordinates with the State of Connecticut Liquor Commission to educate liquor license holders on ways to reduce underage selling and serving of alcohol to minors. If you recently opened a new business, or simply moved from one location in town to another, the Business Liaison program would like to obtain your personal contact information. This information is used in the event that the Police Department needs to inform you of a situation or event involving your business. This information is especially important should an after hours situation arise in the business district and the Police Department has a need to contact you or a person you designate on the business data form as an emergency contact. To complete a business data form pertaining to your business, click on the link located at the upper right hand corner of this page under Additional Info. Once you have completed the form, return it to Officer O'Sullivan or Officer DeFelice. You may return the form via fax, standard mail, or you can e-mail it to michael.osullivan@ci.new-canaan.ct.us or marc.defelice@ci.new-canaan.ct.us |
