The East Haven Board of Police Commissioners will meet tonight at the Town Beach House beginning at 7 p.m.
After cancelling last month's regularly scheduled meeting amid a dispute with the Mayor's Office over the use of former Town Attorney Patricia Cofrancesco as an independent counsel, the East Haven Board of Police Commissioners will hold a special meeting tonight.

A shed at the former dairy farm was destroyed, but firefighters saved a vacant house.
Quick work by East Haven firefighters stopped a shed fire Friday night from consuming a vacant house at the old Neubig Dairy property, 110 Barberry Road. Fire Chief Douglas Jackson said the preliminary damage estimate is still a $100,000 loss from the fire, which was reported at 10:21 p.m. and occupied six East Haven Fire Department units and several North Branford Fire Department pumpers that responded for mutual aid assistance.

Although the vehicle is too small to handle the fire by itself, Jackson said Squad 5 was able to stop the spread of the fire until other units got into position, which probably …

Former town official Paul Hongo says the alleged theft of money last March from the police department's evidence locker may have been part of an organized effort to muddy the Capone Administration's reputation.
UPDATE at 8:30 a.m. on Friday Paul Hongo Jr — the town's former deputy director of town affairs under former Mayor April Capone — has said the alleged theft of money last March from the East Haven Police Department's evidence locker may have been part of an organized effort to smear the reputation of the Capone Administration, according to a New Have Register report this morning. In April 2010, then Mayor Capone put former Police Chief Leonard Gallo on paid administrative leave following the critical preliminary report on the department's operations from the federal Department of Justice.
