On Sunday, October 22, 2023, the Trumbull Police Department was made aware of propaganda that had been distributed at several locations in the North end of Town. These flyers were left in plastic baggies containing small rocks and were distributed and left at the end of several residential driveways. These pamphlets contained hateful statements and similar flyers were left during this past summer in several other communities throughout Connecticut where those police agencies have also been advised.
With the most recent worldly events continuing to unfold, the Trumbull Police Department and the Town of Trumbull would like to ensure the public that heightened security measures are in place and that we continue to take steps to ensure the safety and security of the public. We would like to remind the public that the Trumbull Police continue to remain in contact with Federal, State and local authorities, and that we are constantly working on keeping the public safe.
The Town of Trumbull stands against hate in all forms. Statements of hate, including those included in the flyers distributed to residents, will not be tolerated, whether they are based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristics. We condemn these abhorrent statements in the strongest terms.
We encourage the public to remain vigilant and notify law enforcement to report any illegal or suspicious activity. To contact the Trumbull Police please call (203) 261-3665 or call 911 for all emergencies.
