Police said Waterford native Mitchell Chapman previously was a community service officer in Waterford, a dispatcher in East Lyme and a Goshen volunteer firefighter. He has a bachelor’s degree from Franklin Pierce University, where he majored in criminal justice and minored in sociology.
Michael Farnsworth of Mystic worked as a general contractor before signing on with Groton Town police. He has a bachelor’s from Western Connecticut State University, where he majored in justice and law administration with a focus in law enforcement.
Chapman and Farnsworth entered the Connecticut Police Academy on Dec. 31, 2018, and are scheduled to complete state training in June 2019.
