A statement from the President of the Bridgeport Police Union Michael Salemme III, and response from Bridgeport Police Chief Roderick Porter:
President of the Bridgeport Police Union Michael Salemme III: “CHIEF PORTER’S LONELY CORNER” I write as the President of the Bridgeport Police Union, Local 1159, to address serious concerns regarding Chief Porter’s lack of leadership and the decrease of morale our officers face on a daily basis.
