Meet the DCP commissioner

Bryan T. Cafferelli

He served as legal counsel for the Connecticut Senate Republican Office and worked as a drug control attorney within the DCP. These roles have given him a strong grasp of legislative processes and consumer protection laws.

Mr. Cafferelli’s focus on managing prescription drug enforcement cases shows his dedication to public health and safety. His educational background includes degrees in political science and law. Having this experience and knowledge allows him to guide the DCP in protecting consumers' rights.
