WORCESTER, Mass. - A third security officer could soon be roaming city parks and pool areas in Worcester.
There are currently two park security officers working for the city's Department of Public Works & Parks. A City of Worcester spokesperson tells Spectrum News 1 there are plans to add a third security officer in the coming months.
