Re: City of Ansonia Police DepartmentDisciplinary Hearing
Dear Officer Salahuddin:
In accordance with my previous communications to you (including,
but not limited to,my letters of March 24, 2010, March 25, 2010,
March 26, 2010, June 25, 2010 andAugust 19, 2010), the Ansonia
Police Department has expected you to resume youractive employment
as an officer in the department. The issues involving your trial
and itsdisposition are not germane to your continued status as an
employee of the City of Ansonia Police Department.
To date, despite my earlier letters to you requesting that you
resume employment, youcontinue your unauthorized absence.
Concededly, you have attempted to rely upon the opinion of Harry
Adamakos, PhD to justify your absence. However, I do not understand
him to be a medical doctor. Nor do Iunderstand that any workers
compensation claim is pending.
Additionally, the City of Ansonia has been advised that you are
presently employedfulltime by the Greater Bridgeport Transit
Agency.
In light of all of the above, the Ansonia Police Commission will
convene a hearing toconsider the status of your employment as an
Ansonia Police Officer. The hearing willbe held on October 14, 2010
at 5 :00 p.m. in the Enlingheuser Room (second floor) atAnsonia
City Hall. At that time, the Commission will consider and may take
actionregarding permanent suspension or termination of employment
and forfeiture of some orall of your rights, privileges and
entitlements under the current Collective BargainingAgreement.
Specifically, the Commission will consider:

and(3) Whether your absence violates the Duty Manual of the

In considering the above, the Commission will, inter alia,
consider the ConnecticutGeneral Statutes, the current Collective
Bargaining Agreement, the Ansonia Charter andOrdinances, and the
Ansonia Police Department Duty Manual.
At the hearing, the Commission will accept any testimony
evidence, rebuttal or argumentyou wish to present. Lieutenant Cota
and/or his agent of the Ansonia Police Departmentshall present to
the Commission the above referenced information. Further,
