***1st Degree Assault / Arrest ***

On April 20, 2025, at approx. 8:15P.M., North Haven patrol officers responded to a report of an individual in the roadway on Overbrook Road who had sustained a knife wound (severe slashing) to the chest / torso. Upon arrival, patrol units provided immediate medical assistance to the victim and conducted a canvass of the area. It was determined the suspect had fled the scene prior to our officers’ arrival. North Haven Detectives responded to the scene, documented evidence, conducted preliminary interviews, and identified a suspect. Coordinating with the New Haven State’s Attorney’s Office, North Haven Detectives executed multiple Search and Seizure Warrants obtaining electronic forensic evidence related to the incident. Following the investigation, an arrest warrant was prepared and signed by a judge. On July 3, 2025, North Haven Detectives located and apprehended the suspect, 37 year-old Brittany Young of North Haven. Young was charged with Assault in the First Degree and remains held on a $200,000 bond.

We hope it’s clear to all that we will not tolerate violence in our community. Men, women, teenagers / juveniles; don’t expect any courtesy. We don’t care if it’s your birthday, the 4th of July, Christmas Eve, or if we arrest you at work or during your high school reunion. If you are going to commit violence in our town, expect to be arrested, in the moment or after the fact. We will be relentless in our pursuit of you. It’s what the residents of North Haven expect; and deserve.

Are you anti-human, but pro dog? Or perhaps you don’t share my view that cats are secretly evil and always plotting something sketchy…Regardless of being a dog or cat lover, consider donating to the Town of North Haven Equipment and Supply drive to benefit North Haven Animal Control. Let’s go North Haven. Let’s do this!

After 26 years of service, Sgt. Geoffrey Marquardt said farewell this afternoon. Geoff was one of the nicest guys you’ll meet at the PD, so naturally we called him “angry Geoff.”

Geoff was a field training officer, who mentored and trained a vast majority of our officers. He then took over as field training coordinator, and was tasked with identifying and training those who would go on to train our recruits.

As a road supervisor, Geoff was the type of boss you wanted to work for. He was reasonable and fair, but would hold you accountable if you needed to be. He did the job with common sense, and always looked out for his crew.

Day shift roll call won’t quite be the same for a while now that Geoff has left, but we are happy that he’ll be just down the street. Starting this fall he transitions into a new career path as a School Resource Officer at Clintonville Elementary School. We thank him for his dedicated years of service to the Town of North Haven, and wish him well in his new chapter!
