⛔️ Road Work Alert for Monday 10/26 ⛔️

10/21/2026

We regret to announce the recent passing of retired New Canaan Police Sergeant Alexander John Szymanowski.

On October 1st, 1976 Alex was sworn in as a member of the New Canaan Police Department. On May 2nd, 1988 he joined the Investigative Section and in November of that year was promoted to Sergeant. He served as a Detective for 16 years in New Canaan before retiring in November, 2004. Shortly after leaving New Canaan, Alex joined the State of Connecticut Department of Revenue Services where he served as a Tax Enforcement Special Agent until April, 2022 when he retired full time. Even after his retirement, Alex was a major supporter of his fellow Officers and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF).

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.

Next Saturday 10/24 is DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Drop off old, unused and unwanted medications at the New Canaan Police Department from 10 am to 2 pm.

Can’t make it on this day? We have a green drop box in the lobby of the police department that is always available. This is a safe medication disposal solution rather than throwing them in the garbage, flushing them down the toilet or risking them getting into the wrong hands.
