MARLBOROUGH, Mass. – Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian and Marlborough Police Chief David Giorgi have announced the recent completion of interactive, scenario-based training for members of the city’s police department.

The training was completed between August 11-22 in Marlborough utilizing the MSO’s Mobile Training Center (MTC).  In total, 56 Marlborough officers participated.

During the training, officers were put through a series of video-based scenarios that replicated situations they may encounter on any shift.  This included traffic stops and situations involving individuals trespassing.  Officers also participated in an active-shooter scenario. 

“The Marlborough Police Department would like to thank the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office (MSO) and Sheriff Peter Koutoujian for their continued support of the training needs of our department,” said Chief Giorgi. “The partnership we share with the MSO is essential in providing our officers with real-life, scenario-based use of force training, and the use of the Mobile Training Center, at no cost to the department, exemplifies Sheriff Koutoujian’s commitment to providing high-level training opportunities to the police departments in Middlesex County. The relationship that Sheriff Koutoujian and the MSO have with the communities they serve is vital in assisting our officers in the protection of the residents of Marlborough.”

“Collaboration is a vital component of effective public safety, and we are extremely proud of our work with the Marlborough Police Department,” said Sheriff Koutoujian.  “We look forward to continuing to work alongside Chief Giorgi and his team to serve the residents of Marlborough through this and other ongoing initiatives.”
