According to a release from the Brookfield Police Department, police are asking for the public’s help identifying a man who may have information related to an ongoing criminal investigation.

Brookfield Police released a surveillance image of the individual and are hoping someone in the community recognizes him. Police did not provide details about the investigation or explain what incident the man may be connected to, so at this point, the department is simply looking for help putting a name to the face.

There is one detail that could make a big difference. The man appears to have a distinctive tattoo on his right forearm, and police have highlighted the tattoo in the accompanying image. If you've seen the picture and recognize the person based on his appearance, the tattoo, or any other detail, police would like to hear from you.

The photo shows a man wearing a dark baseball cap and dark T-shirt. Again, police aren't saying this person has been charged with anything. They're trying to identify him as part of an active investigation.

Anyone who believes they know who the individual is can contact Officer Karalis at 203-775-2575 or send information by email to TKaralis@brookfieldct.gov.

Brookfield Police are also accepting tips through their department tip line at 203-740-4120.

Police are asking people who may have information to come forward rather than trying to investigate the situation themselves. Even something that seems like a small detail could potentially help investigators determine who they're looking for.

So, if you're from Brookfield or spend a lot of time in the area, take a good look at the image. You might recognize the guy, or you might recognize that very distinctive tattoo. If you do, Brookfield Police would like to hear from you.

A Curious Excursion in an Underground Brookfield Tunnel

Recently, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine, I told this person I'd accessed some caves and tunnels in my hometown of Brewster, NY which is just over the NY/CT State Line. He knows how much I love local history, and saw how excited I was about this journey. He told me there was an area of Brookfield, CT that I needed to see, one that most residents have never seen. He told me about a tunnel, one that was not far away from where we were sitting. I made note of the conversation and bookmarked the destination for a future trip.

From Buttons to Bunkers: The Cold War Charm of The I95 Tower in Brookfield

My name is Lou Milano, the co-host of the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou & Large Dave. I started working here in September of 1999 which means I just celebrated my 23rd year with the company and I let it pass by without even realizing it.

In my time with the station I've only been to the broadcast tower site a handful of times. My last trip up there made me think that everyone should get to see this. This is my virtual tour of the tower site from the ground. As you read this I want you to keep in mind that it takes all of these components to create 50,000 watts, one of the strongest signals in Connecticut.

Lost Blue Shirt Discovered on Shore of Candlewood Lake Island in Brookfield

On the priority-list of lost items, this is somewhere at the bottom but I figured it was worth a shot. If you're missing a blue shirt with white stripes on the sleeves, it's on this island on Candlewood Lake, somewhere in Brookfield.
