NEW LONDON, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - New London Police terminate one of their own, after he's been arrested four times on domestic violence charges.

New London Mayor Michael Passero says they've terminated former New London Police Officer Julio Gil-Martinez for just cause, citing "egregious violations" of the New London Police Department's General Duty Manual.


Gil-Martinez had been arrested four times on domestic violence-related charges in connection with alleged off-duty actions.

The Mayor says those actions "...demonstrated an apparent disregard for his oath of office and the standards of conduct expected of police professionals, both on and off duty."

The City says it conducted two extensive internal investigations into the former officer, finding he was allegedly providing "untruthfulness" during the investigation.

Gil-Martinez's termination is effective immediately.
