Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the 56 layoff notices to the newest class of state troopers will proceed this week, but at a slower pace than initially anticipated.
The decision comes 24 hours after hundreds of state troopers gathered at the Capitol to ask the governor to spare the 56 troopers in the name of public safety. It’s unclear how many of the layoff notices will be delayed to give the Public Safety Department time to retrain troopers currently assigned to specialized units such as major crimes and narcotics.
