Protecting children is more than a responsibility, it’s a commitment our officers carry with them every single day.
The Ansonia Police Department is honored to announce that both the department and several of its members were recently recognized through Pinwheels for Prevention by the South Central Child Advocacy Center for their dedication, investigative expertise, and continued efforts to keep children safe.
The Ansonia Police Department proudly received two awards recognizing the department’s overall commitment to going above and beyond in protecting children, supporting victims, and pursuing these sensitive investigations with professionalism, compassion, and care.
In addition, we are proud to recognize Detective Esposito, Detective Mendenhall, Detective Clifford, Officer Ribeiro, and Officer Troesser (not pictured) for also receiving awards for their outstanding efforts, investigative skills, and unwavering dedication to this important work.
Cases involving children require patience, empathy, attention to detail, and relentless commitment — qualities that these officers and detectives demonstrate every day. Their work reflects the department’s mission to serve and protect our community’s most vulnerable with integrity and compassion.
Please join us in congratulating these outstanding members of our department, as well as the department as a whole, for these well-deserved recognitions and for the meaningful impact they continue to make in our community.
