2022: Cadet Sergeant Vincent Travali
On 12/10/2022 during the Town of Fairfield Tree Lighting Event, Cadet Sergeant Travali observed a vehicle obstructing traffic on Beach Road near the Town Hall. Though traffic was moving slowly already, Cadet Sergeant Travali suspected something was not right with the situation and radioed for an officer. When Officer Wellington arrived on scene, Cadet Sergeant Travali was able to point out the vehicle and provide a description of the operator. It was determined that the operator was indeed impaired and was detained based on the officer’s and Cadet Sergeant Travali’s observations. The operator was arrested for DUI.
There was a call placed to Fairfield ECC about the driver by another witness, however by the time the incident was dispatched to patrol, the subject was already detained due to Cadet Sergeant Travali’s quick thinking. Had he not reported the incident, the driver would have likely left the area before patrol officers arrived on scene. |
