• 228 Conn. App. 559

Syllabus

The defendant, a former police officer, appealed from the judgment of the trial court granting an application for a civil protective order for the plaintiff, a police chief, filed pursuant to statute (§ 46b-16a (a)) on the basis of stalking. The defendant claimed, inter alia, that the trial court abused its discretion in issuing the order of civil protection, as modified, because the trial court did not make the requisite factual findings. Held: The trial court abused its discretion in issuing the modified order of civil protection without having made the necessary factual findings that there were reasonable grounds to believe that the defendant both had stalked the plaintiff and would have continued to stalk the plaintiff.
