Once again, you hit the nail on the head. Anyone from HPD who reads this will know exactly what you are referring to with the "black ice" although it is hard to blame the second accident on black ice in July. And as far as sgt 36, everyone from the Chief on down will know who that was. Was anything ever done? no and it was business as usual. Luckily we didn't have a result like Windsor Locks, but the potential was there (and in at least 1 case still is).

As long as the EAP coordinator was more interested in getting his "PJ's" no attention to really getting at the problem takes place.

One of your bests post ever Kevin. Thank you.

The other complication with law enforcement is because alcoholic abuse is much more common in that profession supervisors are reluctant to do anything to subordinates for something they themselves might be involved in a year later. For the PDs it's easier to deal with the occasional public fall out then try to deal with the real issues and people that work there daily. The drug abuse programs are in place, just not being utilized.

Tim Kradas is one of the hardest working guys I know. He has been the heart and soul of the Grants Section of the State Police.

I don't know what caused the accident but I'm confident the State Police will get to the bottom of it.

If the accident is alcohol related then the State Police will levy any motor vehicle related charges against him. At the same time the agency has the responsibility of working with the LT to help him with his problems. After years and years of distingquished service this individual deserves an opportunity to be helped and a career not to be identified by a single incident. I can't remember but someone said, "If you have to be perfect you'll never amount to much."

a crash during a snowstorm with beer cans and some tomato juice concoction containing alcohol

Unfortunate, but mainly with respect to the guy's resume/career. As it's said; too soon old, too late smart. Fortunate, he hurt nobody else. Hope the guy's able to recover from his injuries pronto.

Grants coordinator? Sounds like a fungible skill that he'll be able to take somewhere else in the event he gets canned.

This is not a new problem for Kradas. Ever since his accident that him & his k9 phoenix was in and Kradas suffered back injuries he has been hooked on pain meds and hit an uninsured motorist in Somers while nodding off at the wheel but because the motorist was uninsured they were at fault. Town of Somers knew of his problems but did nothing to help his problems.
