Text messages reveal affairs between Torrington officer, dispatchers

TORRINGTON — A police officer flirted and had sex with female dispatchers on duty for four months, and he and the two dispatchers involved, with whom he had separate affairs, used a city messaging system to exchange sexual suggestions and arrange their encounters.

Nearly 700 pages of messages and internal reports revealed that Donovan had sex with the dispatchers in the women's locker room at the Torrington Police Department while on duty. He and Goodfield, who began having sex in February or March, arranged for trysts in the parking lot of Torrington Middle School and the Torrington Industrial Park. Donovan began his affair with Street in April.

Supervising officers had grown suspicious that Street and Donovan were having a relationship. On May 24, another dispatcher walked into the locker room, wondered why the lights were off, and heard a rustling noise. She used the bathroom and then was startled to find Street in a secluded area of the room, saying she had spilled something and needed to change her pants, according to the city's investigation.

The dispatcher noticed a Taser and holder that could have belonged only to a police officer on a cabinet

The documents released Wednesday show Donovan flirting with the dispatchers and trading bawdy comments using an internal messaging system that is supposed to be used for official communications. The department allows somewhat personal use of the system, such as asking if a fellow officer wanted a coffee, but the exchanges between Donovan and the dispatchers extended far beyond that.

"Locker room bench sound good to you?" Donovan wrote to Goodfield over the messaging system the afternoon of March 3.

"Oh yeah," she responded.

"I'm 'up' for it if you are," he said.

Using public e-mail to arrange amorous encounters? Dumb doesn't begin to describe what happened.

Exactly, the wife said "how dumb can he be?" she worked with him for years prior to becomming a policeman.

Yeah, sad news, although he isn’t the first man or woman to have his common sense overwhelmed by the urge to mate. Say hello to Connecticut for me... I grew up near exit 73 on the Connecticut Turnpike.

Hello Connecticut!

Side note, first frost this morning. I didn't expect this, got up it was 30 degrees, I hope my garden's not dead.
