Enfield Native Is Among New West Hartford Police Officers

ENFIELD, CT — An Enfield native is among a new group of West Hartford police officers that was sworn into the department this week.

Kevin Kaselouskas, who grew up in Enfield and graduated from Enfield High School in 2013, has wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement since he was young, West Hartford Police Department officials said.

Kaselouskas received an associate's degree in criminal justice from Asnuntuck Community College and a bachelor's degree in criminal justice with a minor in philosophy from Westfield State University.

After college, he spent four years serving with the United States Coast Guard. He began in Boston on the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter SPENCER, where he worked regulating New England fisheries.

He also patrolled in the Eastern Pacific ocean, apprehending marine-based drug smugglers off the coast of Central America, officials said.

Kaselouskas was then trained in Yorktown, Virginia as a boatswain's mate. He also became a coxswain and EMT while serving in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where he was involved with numerous search and rescue missions, officials said.

Officer Kaselouskas and the other three new officers — Hunter Humble of East Haddam, Thomas Wallace of Norwich and Jacob Lamb of Salisbury — were sworn in at the West Hartford Town Council Chambers on Wednesday.
