New Haven police to shut down narcotics unit following arrests

The Advocate - New Haven police to shut down narcotics unit following arrests: "New Haven police announced Wednesday that they are disbanding their narcotics unit and handing over some of its cases to state authorities in response to the arrests of two officers on theft charges resulting from FBI stings.

Police Chief Francisco Ortiz said he expected several more arrests of current or former officers and did not rule out charges against officers of other departments.

'It's a big investigation,' Ortiz said outside U.S. District Court in Hartford, following a court appearance by one of the accused officers. 'I think what you're seeing here today is just a sampling of what's to come.'"
