Summary
The Northborough Select Board voted unanimously May 4 to appoint Griffin Petrucci to a full‑time police officer position contingent on his successful completion of the police academy. Petrucci, an EMT and Fitchburg State criminal justice student, will start the academy in mid‑May.
The Town of Northborough Select Board unanimously approved the appointment of Griffin Petrucci to a full‑time police officer position on May 4, contingent on his successful completion of the police academy.
Chair Julianne Hirsch opened the meeting and introduced Petrucci, who told the board he grew up in Ashby, is enrolled in Fitchburg State’s criminal justice program and is scheduled to graduate May 16. "I've always wanted to be a police officer," Petrucci said, adding that he is an EMT and has worked as a first responder.
A board member moved to appoint Petrucci "as a police officer for the Town of Northborough, contingent upon his successful completion of the police academy," and the motion was seconded. The board took a roll‑call vote; each member answered "aye." The chair announced the motion carried.
The appointment is contingent on Petrucci completing the academy and any final administrative checks. Petrucci’s family attended the meeting and board members welcomed him and thanked him for choosing public service.
Next steps include administrative processing of the appointment and confirmation of Petrucci’s academy completion date. The board did not record additional conditions beyond the contingency on successful completion of the academy.
