(HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT RESIDENTS ONLY)

Detective Robert C. Garten was a dedicated and courageous officer who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his community. On September 6, 2023, Detective Garten tragically lost his life in the line of duty. He was a beloved member of the Hartford, CT community, known for his commitment, bravery, and relentless dedication to protecting and serving the people. To honor his memory and his remarkable service, we are proposing to rename High Street in Hartford, CT to 'Bobby Garten Way.'

Detective Garten's dedication to public safety and tireless efforts to improve the lives of those in Hartford are worthy of lasting recognition. Renaming a street in his honor is a meaningful way to pay tribute to his life and the sacrifices he made for our city. It will serve as a constant reminder of his bravery and the risk that police officers take every day to keep us safe.

Street renaming is a powerful symbol of appreciation and gratitude. It shows the community's acknowledgment of the profound impact Detective Garten had and ensures his legacy continues to inspire future generations. Historically, renaming streets in honor of local heroes has not only preserved their stories but also strengthened community bonds.

We urge the Hartford City Council to take action, acknowledge Detective Garten's service, and make this change. Let us come together as a community to honor a hero who gave everything for us. If you are a resident of Hartford, please sign this petition to support the renaming of High Street in memory of Detective Robert C. Garten. Your signature will help ensure his legacy lives on for years to come.
