Granby Police Sergeant Promoted To Captain

GRANBY, CT — A sergeant who has worked for the Granby Police Department for two decades is now a captain, officials said.

Kurt LaFlamme, who was recently promoted to captain, has been a supervisor for 16 of his 20 years at the Granby Police Department. He also leads the North Central Regional Crisis Negotiation Team, officials said.

In 2013, Captain LaFlamme graduated from the FBI National Academy — a 10-week program that less than 1 percent of law enforcement officers have attended — and he is also a graduate of the FBI Law Enforcement Command Development Leadership Institute.

The Granby Police Department announced LaFlamme's promotion on its Facebook page, and its post was flooded with congratulatory comments and well wishes.

One user called LaFlamme "one of the finest people in law enforcement," and another called him "a great asset to the town."

"Granby is lucky to have such an intelligent and dedicated professional," a third user wrote. "Congratulations!"
