A state trooper has been fired after an internal affairs investigation into his conduct, according to state police.
Trooper First Class Timothy Haroian was originally removed from his assignment as a school resource officer at Vinal Technical High School in Middletown in January 2025.
State police said they were made aware of possible inappropriate conduct between Haroian and a minor, and the state trooper was immediately removed from his school resource officer assignment at Vinal Technical High School, ending any contact between him, the potential victim and the students at the technical high school.
Haroian was also placed on administrative duty and state police launched an internal affairs investigation.
On Thursday, state police said Haroian was terminated on Dec. 30
In February, the Middletown State’s Attorney’s Office notified state police that after an investigation, they would not pursue criminal charges, according to state police.
During the internal affairs investigation, Haroian was placed on administrative duty in a non-patrol capacity, state police said.
State police released a statement on Thursday that read in part:
“Connecticut State Troopers that serve as School Resource Officers are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all of their interactions with students, staff, and parents. Their role is to protect and support students while building trust. Every interaction should be guided by integrity, respect, and professionalism. Any personnel who do not meet this standard have no place within the Connecticut State Police.”
