Milford Police Graduate 10 New Officers To Ranks

MILFORD, CT — The Milford Police Department added 10 new members to its ranks after Thursday's police academy graduation.

A total of 55 recruits from 14 different departments graduated. It's the largest graduating class in academy history.

The department offers a pension plan after 25 years of service, 13 paid holidays, 15 sick days and up to 29 vacation days per year.

The following Milford cadets graduated:

• Alexander Altermatt Jr.
• Dominika Baginska
• Thomas Beirne IV
• Samual Chiovitti
• Arnoldo Maderos
• Gregory Marriner
