The CT Mirror and The Day of New London want the FOI commission to decide whether state police names and badge numbers should be disclosed.
The union’s lawyers argued the release of the identities of the 130 troopers who were noted in the audit would open those individuals up to “unwarranted scrutiny” and “false allegations” without the benefit of a full investigation.
They also claimed the release of the information would damage the trooper’s reputations and risk the safety of themselves and their families.
