Meet Mansfield's Four Newest Police Officers

Wednesday night, Mansfield's four newest officers were sworn in during the a meeting of the Mansfield Board of Selectmen.

It is a time of transition down at the Mansfield police station. With officers leaving and retiring, a new group of police officers are ready to patrol the streets of Mansfield.

"The sands of time are moving on in the department and people are leaving. We're losing great people and great new people are coming in," Police Chief Arthur O'Neil said.

Four new full-time members of the Mansfield Police Department were sworn in Wednesday night, as the department begins to transition to new officers and a new chief next month.

The officers, Nicole Boldrighini, Derek McCune, Gregory Martel and Daniel Pennellatore, are all Mansfield High School graduates and recent graduates of the state police academy.
