Public safety remains the cornerstone of Crisci’s campaign. He has consistently emphasized that a lack of support for the police can lead to undermine the peace and security of Connecticut communities. Crisci highlighted a recent incident in Connecticut early August where fentanyl was found being sold in marijuana products to unsuspecting customers. Fentanyl is deadly in even the smallest quantities, making it a significant threat to public health and safety. Without the intervention of law enforcement, this situation could have had fatal consequences. “This incident underscores the critical need to support our police during this pivotal time in our nation,” Crisci said. “Without their vigilance, deadly situations like these would go unchecked, putting countless lives at risk.”

“As a State Senator, I pledge to continue my unwavering support for law enforcement,” Crisci said. “I will also work to revisit the police accountability legislation to ensure that all first responders are safe on the line of duty, supported, and operating with peace of mind. It is crucial that we, as legislators, remain proactive rather than reactive when it comes to maintaining community safety.”

With the endorsement from the Connecticut Fraternal Order of Police, Paul Crisci’s campaign for District 12 State Senate continues to gain momentum as he advocates for a safer, stronger Connecticut. For more information on Paul Crisci's campaign, please visit https://pcforct.com
