"Our engagement with students reflects our commitment to staying connected with the community we serve. We engage and encourage future potential candidates to join us in this very important career path," said Hampden Superior Court Chief Probation Officer Rosa Maldonado-Brown.

Chief Maldonado-Brown said the Hampden Superior Probation ACPO and PO and their work drew a lot of interest from the students.

"The students approached the table the entire time they were there which is a testament to the curiosity and interest that these young minds showed. Many thanks and appreciation to ACPO Vieira and PO Fettes and all MPS officers for all their hard work and dedication," said Ms. Maldonado-Brown.
