Trumbull Police Welcome 2 New Officers

TRUMBULL, CT — The Trumbull Police Department announced Thursday the recent graduation of two new officers that successfully completed the required training leading to their graduation from the Milford Police Academy.

In a news release provided by the department, Police Lt. Brian Weir said the ceremony for officers Julian Arboleda and Anthony Ormond, recruit class #31, took place Wednesday at the Thomas Parsons Government Center Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Milford.

After successfully completing over six months of training at the Milford Police Academy, Arboleda and Ormond will continue their training with the Trumbull Police Department in the field training phase, where they will ride with training officers who will instruct them on department policies, rules and procedures while exposing them to actual policing by responding to calls for service, according to Weir.

Both recruits are required to complete a minimum of 400 hours of Field Training to complete their certifications before they can work on their own, Weir said.

According to Weir, these two new recruits are joining a department that is continuously working to bring the agency up to full staffing levels.

"Trumbull is currently looking for additional qualified police officer applicants to fill several vacancies and bring the staff to its maximum level," Weir said in a news release. "The town of Trumbull accepts applications for police officers at PoliceApp.com, and further information is

also available on the town's website."
