BRATTLEBORO — Ever since grade school, Michael R. Fitzgerald knew he wanted to work in law enforcement.
That conviction was affirmed in high school, when he accompanied Brattleboro police officers — members of the department he now heads — on ride-alongs on career day. “It’s always something I’ve been interested in,” he said. But most departments don’t take high school graduates with no experience. So, when he was 17 and his family moved from Brattleboro to Arizona, Fitzgerald enlisted in the Marine Corps soon after. As it turned out, he enjoyed military service and spent two decades on active duty as a scout observer in the Marines. “When 20 years flew by and it was time for me to retire, there was no doubt that I was going to come back home,” he said. Fitzgerald, 56, joined the Brattleboro Police Department 18 years ago, and he’s been chief for nearly four years. |
