The Connecticut State Capitol is the focal point of state government. It is where government occurs and over 100,000 persons visit each year on legislative business, for education, or tourism. It is an exciting and challenging environment that is the site of democracy, celebration, demonstration and protest. No two days are alike. Serving in a new world, the State Capitol Police Department has the awesome responsibility of protecting “Democracy" in an environment that must be accessible to the public yet diligently patrolled. It is the mission of the State Capitol Police Department to support the Connecticut General Assembly by creating a safe and secure environment in which to conduct the legislative process. We carry out this role in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of all persons. State Capitol Police Officers patrol a seventeen acre campus in Downtown Hartford that includes the State Capitol and Legislative Office Buildings, garages and supporting State offices. We work in partnership with the City of Hartford and the State Police Departments. State Capitol Police Officers are highly trained, well equipped professionals…we place an emphasis on training and preparedness. Officers are provided with know how and the most up-to-date equipment and technology available to do their job. Officers meet and maintain police officer certification standards, as mandated by state law and regulated by the Police Officer Standards and Training Council. The department has been nationally accredited through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) since 2003. The department also earned state accreditation in 2006. Professionalism and pride are second nature at the State Capitol Police Department. Please take a moment to visit the State Capitol Police Department’s recruitment page at PoliceApp.com.
