Police use laser-equipped firearms

Connecticut police use laser-equipped firearms to improve their accuracy.

Officers say they are now better prepared to deal with gunfights like the 2002 shootout between an Ansonia man and police outside the former Boston Billiards on lower Black Rock Turnpike.

The Police Department has acquired lasers for their .40-caliber Glock duty weapons using asset forfeiture funds from a prostitution investigation several years ago. The department bought 110 lasers, enough for every officer’s gun, at a cost of $229 each, said Capt. Gary MacNamara.
