4.
That
previously on
12/9114
Gaillard
resigned his
position
as
Derby
High
School
Principal.
This resignation
is
believed
to
be
unrelated
to
the facts
and
circumstances of this report
and the
DAA. Later
that
night following
his
resignation,
Pascale
received
a
text message
from
Gaillard
requesting
he retrieve and
put
aside Webster
Bank
statements that
were in
his
office.
Pascale
immediately
contacted Derby
School Superintendent Dr Matt
Conway
to inform
him
of the
request
Gaillard
had
made.
Conway instructed Pascale
that
no
one is
to enter
Gaillard's
former
office. Pascale
did not
enter
the
office.
Conway later responded
to the
Derby
High
School
and
recovered
several Webster
Bank
statements
from
Gaillard's
office.
5. That on l2l1ll20l4
Olson
received
a
phone
call from
Conway asking about the
DAA
Webster Bank
account.
Based
on
the three
monthly
bank
statements
Conway had recovered
from
Gaillard's
office,
Conway inquired
about who
had
access
to the
account
and whether
or
not
there
should be
frequent withdrawals.
Olson confirmed
that
Gaillard
was
the
only approved
member
of the
DAA
with
access
to
the DAA
Webster Bank
account
and
checkbook. The
content
of
the
three
bank
statements raised enough
concern
that
it
prompted
a
review
of
past
bank
records.
Olson
and
Ciccarini
went
to Webster
Bank in Derby
and
requested the
past
statements
of
the
DAA
account from
July 2013
to
present
which was
the time
period
that
Gaillard
gained
sole
access
to the account.
After reviewing
the
statements
from
July 2013
to
present
it
was
determined that
$13,200.00
is unaccounted
for.
These
transactions
include
cash
withdrawals
directly from Webster
Bank and checks written directly
to Greg
Gaillard
and
endorsed
by
Greg
Gaillard.
These
transactions occurred
between
1012812013
and 1112612014.
Members of
the DAA
can
confirm
that most
of
the transactions were
handwritten
in
Gaillard's handwriting
however
most recently
there
are several
checks
written out
to Greg Gaillard and endorsed by Greg Gaillard
but
the
handwriting
and
signature
is clearly
not the
same.
It was
undetermined
at
this
point
who
signed
Gaillard's
name
on
four
checks
written
out
to
Greg
Gaillard.
6. That
following
the
1211212014
meeting
with DAA
members
at Central
Office,
Ciccarini and
this
writer
met
with Webster
Bank
Vice President
Patricia Casini.
Ciccarini
provided
Casini
with
documentation to remove
Gaillard from
the DAA
account
and
lock
the account
for
deposits
only.
Casini
provided
Ciccarini
with
copies
of
statements
from
the
DAA
Webster
Bank
account #0009800690
from
7/212013
to
1211212014.
Casini
also
confirmed that
the
account
was
set
up
for
one signature
only for withdrawals
and
cashing
checks
from7l2l20l3
to 1211212014.
Ciccarini
added
the second
signature
to
the
account
for all
future transactions.
Upon reviewing
the
DAA
account
statements
provided
to
this
writer from
Ciccarini it was confirmed that regular
bi-weekly
union
dues
were deposited
in the
amount
of
approximately
$454.50.
The
total
amount deposited
is
determined
by
the
number
of
school
administrators
contributing
at
$103.00
per
month.
Each
month
a check would be
written
to the
AFL-CIO for
union
dues
by the account
administrator.
The account
administrator
from
71212013
to
l2ll2l20l4
was
Greg
Gaillard.
Also,
at the
end
of each month
a
monthly
service charge
would
be deducted
from
the
account
by Webster Bank.
The remainder
of the
money would
remain in
the account
and
could
be used for
special
occasions
or emergencies
involving
one
of the members.

$4,995.61.
Regular
bi-weekly
deposits were
made
each
month
until t21512014.
As of 1218/2014
the
balance
of
the DAA
account
was
$55.76
. On l2ll5l20l4
Olson
contacted the
AFL-CIO
and
confirmed
that their
Union
due
balance
was behind
approximately
$2,000.00.
Further
review of
the account indicates
there
are 13 transactions
that can
not
be explained.
Most
of the
transactions
have notes on
the
checks
which include
such
things
as nego
(negotiations),
end
of
year
party,
shirts,
welcome
back dinner, and
party.
Members of the
DAA
have
confirmed
that no
such dinners, parties,
or shirts
were
ever
purchased,
talked about,
or agreed upon amongst
its members.
7.
That
this
writer
confirmed
with
Webster Bank
that the
transactions were both
withdrawals from
Webster
Bank
and cashed checks
at
banking
institutions.
Webster
Bank
also confirmed that video
and
additional
information
can be obtained via
Search
Warrant
to help
confirm the identity
of the depositor
and
the bank
for
which
the
other
transactions were
made.
8.
That
onl2l22ll4
this
writer
contacted
Gaillard via
telephone
and
left
a
message
on his
voicemail.
Within
minutes
Gaillard called
this writer
back.
This
writer
explained
to Gaillard
that
I had
received
a complaint
from
the members of
the
DAA
regarding
missing
funds.
Gaillard immediately
responded
"oh
that,
I
am
actually
meeting
with
Ciccarini
and
Olson
tonight
to discuss
that".
I
asked Gaillard what
time that meeting
will
be taking
place
and
he
responded
around 4:00
PM.
Gaillard
asked me
if
it
was
possible
for
this
issue
to
just
go
away
or be
handled
without
police
involvement.
I
explained
to Gaillard that
the
police
were already involved
but
if
the
meeting
with the
members
results
in
a change
from
the complainant
I
would need
to be
notified
immediately.
9. That
the following
day
onl2l23l14
this
writer
met
with members
of the DAA to discuss
the missing
funds
from
the Webster
Bank
account.
Olson
and Ciccarini
confirmed
that they had met with
Gaillard
on 12122114
at a
Starbucks
in
Hamden.
Ciccarini
stated
when they met
with
Gaillard
he
informed them
that he had deposited
$3,000.00 back
into
the
DAA
account
in
an
attempt
to
repay the money
he had
taken
out.
Ciccarini
later
provided
a Webster
Bank
statement
and
deposit
slip
confirming
thata
$3,000.00
deposit was
made into
the
DAA
account
on
1212212014
at
10:26
AM
prior
to their
meeting.
At
the
time of this
meeting
the
DAA
Webster
Bank
account was
set up
for
deposits
only and
Gaillard
was able to deposit
the money
prior
to
their meeting.
Ciccarini
and Olson
stated
that Gaillard
did not
seem
to understand
the
seriousness of the money
taken
from
the account
and was unsure
exactly
how
much
was
taken.
Ciccarini informed
Gaillard that
$13,200.00
was
taken
out
of the
account. Gaillard
went
on
to
tell
Olson and
Ciccarini
that he was "son),
things
got
out of
control".
Gaillard
told
them both
he
was
struggling
financially.
Ciccarini
stated
that he asked Gaillard
about the different
signatures
on
the front
of the
checks
written
out
to
him
and
Gaillard
stated that he intentionally
signed the checks
differently
in
case anyone
became
suspicious
of
him.
Ciccarini
explained
to Gaillard that he needed
to talk
this out
with
all
the
members
of the DAA
and everyone
needed
to
be in
agreement
as to what to
do.
Olson
provided
this
writer with
a
signed statement regarding
their
meeting
at
Starbucks.
Olson went
on
to
say that after speaking
with
all the
members
of the DAA
they
wished
to
sign a formal
complaint
to
pursue
charges
against Gaillard.
Olson
was
informed to
freeze
the
account
and that
the
$3,000.00
deposited
into the account
by
Gaillard was now
evidence.
Ciccarini stated
that
following
the meeting
with
Gaillard he received
a text
from
Gaillard stating

The remaining
11
transactions were
written
out
to
Greg
Gaillard
and
endorsed
on the back
with Greg

there was

or
a

in
which
the money
needed
to
be
taken out

1. That
on
111312015
this writer
obtained
a signed Search Warrant for records
for
Webster Bank Derby
Administrators
Account
#0009800690.
The warrant
was served
on
111312015 at Webster Bank
500 New Haven
Ave Derby
to Vice
President
Patricia
Casini.
On
112612015
this writer received Webster Bank
statements
for
the
Derby Administrators
Account
(DAA)
#0009800690.
This
writer reviewed the documents received
from
Webster
Bank
and
confirmed
that
on71212013
Greg
Gaillard
completed and signed all
necessary
forms making
him President
of
the
Derby
Administrators
Association
account
#0009800690.
The documents were
all endorsed
with
Gaillard's
signature.
12. That
upon review
of the documents
provided
by Webster Bank
this
writer
determined that
of the
13
unexplained transactions,
4 of the
checks were
written
out to Greg
Gaillard
and signed on
the
front
by Greg
Gaillard.
The
writing
and signature
clearly
did
not match
Gaillard's hand
writing as
the members
previously
stated. However,
after receiving
the documents from

visible.
The
back of the
checks
clearly
show Greg
Gaillard's
signature
as
the endorser
of
the
checks at the
time
they were cashed. This
confirms what
Gaillard
told
Ciccarini and
Olson
on L212212014 at
their meeting
at
Starbucks
in
Hamden. There
were
originally
some
questions
as to
whether or
not
someone else
may have been
cashing
checks
from
the account
using Gaillard's
name but after
receiving
the
copies of the back
side of these
checks
it is
believed
that
Gaillard did intentionally
alter his writing
and
signature
on
the front of the
4
checks
but
used his actually
signature at the
time
he cashed the checks.
This
writer
attempted
to obtain video
surveillance o
the 4 transactions under
the
Search
Warrant but according
to Webster
Bank no
video surveillance
was available.
13. That further review of the
documents confirm that there
are atotal
of
13 transactions
which took
place
between October 28,2013
and November
26,2014
that the
DAA members
determined to
be
unexplained.
All 13
unexplained transactions
were endorsed with Greg Gaillard's signature
which
matched
the signature used
when
Gaillard
signed the forms
making
him President
of
the DAA
on7l2l20l3
and
also confirmed
by DAA members
to
be
Greg
Gaillard's
signature.
14.That
it
has
been determined through this investigation that
Greg Gaillard
was
the
president
of
the
Derby
Administrators Association
and had sole control over Webster
Bank account
#
0009800690
from
71212013
to
T2ll2l20l4.
That during this
time
13
unexplained
transactions took
place
in
which
$13,200.00
was taken
from
the account
without
consulting
the
DAA members and
with
no
attempt
to
repay any of
the
money taken
from the
account
during
this
17 month
time
period.
Not until Gaillard
was confronted
with
the reality that
he may be
arrested
did
he
make
an attempt
to
make
partial
reimbursement for the
money taken.
15. That this writer
believes that
probable
cause
has
been
demonstrated
and
respectfully requests that
an
arrest
warrant be issued
for
Gregory
Gaillard

for violation of
Connecticut
