Fitchburg Police Chief Ernest J. Martineau addressed students enrolled in the Fitchburg State University Police Program's Recruit Officer Course (ROC) at yesterday afternoon's monthly meeting - the first of the spring semester. After saluting their commitment to joining a vital profession, he offered them a chance to make some money along the way.
