Derby Hall of Famer of the Week: Rev. John Bowers

Though we have no picture of Our Hall of Famer of the Week, he might be described as the most important name in the legal establishment of Derby by the legislature.

Back then, your area had to support a minister before the state would formally recognize you.

Derby Police arrest 2 on DUI charges

DERBY - Police arrested two men Thursday on charges of Driving Under the Influence following separate motor vehicle stops conducted within the city.

Both arrests occurred as a result of proactive traffic enforcement efforts.

• Iesha Gonzalez (DOB 5/10/1991) of Bridgeport

Derby PD remains committed to targeted motor vehicle enforcement to improve roadway safety for everyone who lives in, works in, or travels through our community. Impaired driving puts lives at risk — not only the driver’s, but passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists.

If you choose to drink, plan ahead:

• Designate a sober driver

• Use a rideshare service

• Stay where you are

If you observe reckless driving or suspect a driver may be intoxicated:

Call 911 for emergencies

Call 203-735-7811 for routine, non-emergency reports

Our officers will continue conducting traffic enforcement details and routine patrols focused on identifying unsafe driving behaviors.

Keeping Derby’s roads safe remains a priority and enforcement action will be taken when violations occur.

Drive responsibly.
