#Bridgeport, Conn. (November 12, 2015) – The Bridgeport Police Department announced the arrest of two adults and two juveniles on weapons charges. On Monday, November 9, police officers pulled a vehicle over at the intersection of Housatonic Ave. and North Washington Ave. for speeding and lacking proper registration. In approaching the black, 4-door, 2001 Volkswagen, police officers identified that two adult males and two juvenile males were the occupants. The driver of the vehicle – Daniel Joel Rosario Jr. of Derby (DOB: 5/10/1995) – wasn’t wearing his seatbelt.
When a police officer asked if anyone in the vehicle was on parole or probation, all parties responded “no” with the exception of Elijah Ceesay of Bridgeport (DOB: 3/20/1996). Ceesay stated that he was out on bond for a gun charge. Rosario and Ceesay were asked to step out of the car, followed by police officers patting them down. Upon shining a flashlight into the vehicle, a police officer spotted the handle of a handgun sticking out from the floor mat associated with the rear right seat of the vehicle, which is where Mr. Ceesay was sitting prior to getting out of the car. After further search of the vehicle, police officers identified the gun underneath the floor mat as a black handgun with a brown handle, and found a second handgun that was silver with a black handle in the driver’s seat rear flap compartment. All four occupants of the vehicle were patted down, handcuffed, and arrested.
Rosario was charged with weapons in a motor vehicle, and was issued an infraction for motor vehicle offenses. Bond has been set at $10,000. Ceesay was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit, weapons in a motor vehicle, criminal possession of ammo, and violation of conditions of release.

#Bridgeport, Conn. (November 14, 2015) – Today, in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris, France, Bridgeport Police Chief Joseph Gaudett sent the following communication to all officers in the Department:
Subject: Message to Officers re: Recent Terrorist Attacks
To: ALL COMMANDS
In light of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, France, all officers are reminded to remain vigilant while on and off duty, especially around transportation hubs and areas where large groups of people gather. While there are no specific or credible known threats to Bridgeport, or Connecticut, at this time, the sad reality is that radicalized individuals may take actions similar to those in Paris at any place and at any time. Never before has law enforcement’s role been so critical in identifying and thwarting potential terrorist action in our Homeland.
Our participation on the Joint Terrorism Task Force ensures that we are provided with the most up-to-date Intelligence with regard to any threats to our City. We will continue to use the Department’s email system to provide information from the Connecticut Intelligence Center (CTIC), and other State and Federal partners, to officers as expeditiously as possible. Please check your Department email on a regular basis. In addition, any critical information will be shared with officers during lineups.
Finally, I have attached an update from CTIC announcing the implementation of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) Server that allows officers and citizens to report suspicious activity directly through their website, thereby streamlining and accelerating the reporting process. Please share with others, as appropriate.
Our residents have been stunned by these series of attacks in Paris, and they rely upon us to ensure their safety. I know that you will not let them down. Please maintain your situational awareness at all times, and if you see something, say something.

LifeBridge will build on its experience, community networks, commercial relationships in the food industry, and knowledge of low-income “customer” populations to launch the enterprise.
