Rep. Fishbein Honored by Connecticut Police Chiefs Association

During a ceremony at the annual winter meeting of the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association last week, State Representative Craig Fishbein (R-90) was presented with a 2022 Carroll J. Hughes Legislator of the Year Award for his work as Ranking Member of the legislature’s Judiciary Committee and his continued strong support of law enforcement.

The CPCA Carroll J. Hughes Legislator of the Year award is named in honor of longtime lobbyist Carroll J. Hughes and is presented annually to lawmakers who have worked to support initiatives and legislation important to law enforcement.  Hughes was a longtime and well-respected lobbyist who worked with the CPCA, and other organizations.

“I am overwhelmed and humbled by the honor of receiving a Carroll J. Hughes Award and would like to thank the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association for their tireless work to make our state safer,” Rep. Craig Fishbein said. “Support for the law, the judicial system and law enforcement were important to Carroll, and I am proud to be recognized for my work to uphold those same values in the legislature.”

According to the Association’s website, “the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association is an organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of the residents of the State of Connecticut; to aiding other government bodies within and external to the State of Connecticut in the administration of justice, ensuring that all are treated equally before the law.”

The meeting was held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Bristol and featured a keynote speech from Retired Police Chief Brian Manley, Austin, TX, who presented: Managing a Multi-Agency Response: A Case Study of the Collaborative and Successful Local, State and Federal Investigation into the Austin Bomber.
