OPINION
FLAHERTY, Justice.
Should prejudgment interest accrue on a judgment for negligence against an on-duty police officer, or should the immunity from interest applicable to the municipality be applied to him? Must the officer specifically be sued individually to be liable for prejudgment interest? For the reasons stated herein, we conclude that prejudgment interest may be added against municipal employees, but a specific designation of individual capacity is not a prerequisite for recovery. Therefore, we affirm the judgment of the Superior Court.
