This morning, our Fitchburg State Police Academy Recruit Officer Course (ROC) had the profound privilege of hearing from Caitlyn Tarentino, sister of fallen Auburn Ma Police Officer Ronald Tarentino Jr.
Officer Tarentino made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on May 22, 2016, following a traffic stop. Caitlyn shared intimate stories of her brother’s life, his unwavering dedication to public service, and what it truly means to wear the badge with honor.
Moments like this remind our recruits of the sacred duty they are stepping into—and the legacy of bravery they are bound to uphold. Thank you, Caitlyn, for sharing Officer Tarentino’s story with our future law enforcement leaders.
Honoring service, sacrifice, and the badge.
