§ 1983. We agree with the plaintiff as to counts two and
three of the operative complaint, which set forth the
plaintiff’s claims under § 31-51q, and, accordingly, reverse
in part the judgment of the trial court.
We begin by setting forth the facts, as alleged in
the plaintiff’s operative complaint,2 and the procedural
history of this case. The plaintiff is employed by the
Hartford Police Department (department). In February,
2016, a fellow employee, Detective Samuel Cruz, com-
plained to the plaintiff that he was being subjected to
discriminatory treatment by his supervisor, Sergeant
Shawn St. John, on the basis of his race. Cruz told
the plaintiff that St. John was declining to enter Cruz’
overtime into the department’s payroll system.
The plaintiff immediately reported Cruz’ complaint
to Lieutenant Brandon O’Brien, the commander of the
vice, intelligence, and narcotics unit of the department,
in which the plaintiff was a sergeant at that time. O’Brien
ordered the plaintiff not to get involved and assured
the plaintiff that he would take care of Cruz’ complaint.
Cruz subsequently told the plaintiff that O’Brien stated
that he was unable to help with his complaint. The
plaintiff told Cruz that O’Brien’s response was ‘‘unac-
ceptable’’ and suggested that Cruz contact their union
or the department’s investigative services bureau for
further assistance. Cruz followed the plaintiff’s advice
and reported his complaint to the union and the depart-
ment’s internal affairs division, and he openly acknowl-
edged that the plaintiff had suggested that he do so.
In September, 2017, Cruz filed a complaint with the
Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO)
