ATTENTION ALL RETIRED
HAMDEN POLICE OFFICERS & FIREFIGHTERS!
The Hamden Guardian Services Retirees Association, LLC (HGSRA) is an organization formed in September 2012 by Hamden retired firefighters and police officers to oversee and protect our pensions and benefits.

Every retired Hamden police officer and firefighter for whom we have an email address or home mailing address has been contacted by either HPD retiree Bob Maturo or HFD retiree Dave Johnson. Information on the new HGSRA was provided along with an application form.
If you did not receive the notification and HGSRA application form, please contact this website right away (HFDBadge102@aol.com).
Well over two-hundred fire and police retirees have signed up for membership in the HGSRA thus far. If you have yet to mail in your application form you should do so as soon as possible.
