"With relative ease, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration has reached an agreement with the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes that will give them more control over public safety and regulation at their southeastern Connecticut casinos and put more state police and regulators out on the road.
That's a win for the state and a win for the tribes. Certified police hired by the tribes will replace some of the senior state troopers now assigned to the casinos. This will allow troopers to return to understaffed off-reservation duties. Many of the tribal police already employed are retired state or municipal officers." Get the Story:
