To honor our law enforcement agencies, and to welcome incoming Bridgeport Police Chief Roderick Porter, The Center for Family Justice will host a Law Enforcement Appreciation Breakfast Thursday, Feb. 23.

The breakfast will begin at 8 a.m. at the center’s main office, located at 753 Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport.

As an agency that works with those impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse, CFJ staff value the support and hard work of police officers in the six communities we serve and beyond.

“We value law enforcement’s dedication and bravery every single day,” CFJ President and CEO Debra Greenwood said. “This is just our way of reminding them we appreciate everything they do.”

Police chiefs from Monroe, Fairfield, Trumbull, Easton, Stratford, Trumbull and Bridgeport are expected to attend along with retired Police Chief Gary MacNamara, executive director of public safety and government affairs at Sacred Heart University, who will speak about the importance of partnerships between local police and agencies like CFJ.

“We all work together to support victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse,” Greenwood said. “We have collaborated with many skilled police officers who approach their work with skill and compassion. Those partnerships are so vital to our work.”

The Center for Family Justice offers support to the residents of Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull.
