Advanced and varied training opportunities are not only available but encouraged for our officers on a regular basis. The Town of Marlborough provides excellent health and dental insurance, as well as other competitive benefits (paid vacation, personal time, sick leave, state retirement). Holiday pay is double-time and a half. Additional $5000 (approximate) of on call pay per year and overtime available, as well as state overtime grants when funded. Our full-time officers work four ten-hour shifts per week, and no midnight/overnight shifts are required.
