Town, officer strike a deal
Misconduct charges against New Britain police Officer Edward Kraft have been resolved, avoiding a full Civil Service Commission hearing, said Marc Rickles, an attorney for the commission.
Rickles said Kraft accepted on Monday a charge of general misconduct stemming from accusations he sexually harassed a female borough employee between July and October 2007. A charge of sexual harassment was dropped.
The officer apologized to the employee “for any conduct that may have offended her,” said Rickles, and she accepted that apology. A written apology may follow, he said.
Kraft also agreed to a 10-day suspension without pay, but he already served a 30-day suspension imposed by borough council at the time the allegations came to light. His attorney, Bill Goldman Jr., said Kraft will receive a reimbursement for the additional 20 days. Kraft earns about $3,750 per month.
The officer will undergo a psychological evaluation and follow any recommendations that might come from that, said Rickles. The evaluation will be scheduled within the next few weeks.
Kraft, who joined the department in May 2006, was suspended in November 2007, after borough Police Chief Don Bowers detailed three incidents of alleged sexual harassment against the woman.
Kraft did not dispute at least two of the charges brought by the woman but did appeal the suspension. The complaint was then referred to the Civil Service Commission, which handles matters when an officer is disciplined. When Kraft returned to work in January, he was scheduled on the night shift to avoid working with the female employee. That condition will no longer be in effect, Rickles said.
