Work hard, and give back to your community...that was one of the many lessons Mike Moore learned from his parents.  Born and raised in Millbury, MA, Mike has spent his entire adult life doing just that.   

A standout athlete at Millbury High School, Mike worked nights and weekends to  help support himself and save money for college.  Upon graduation, he continued his education at Nichols College and Worcester State College, then moving on to attend the full-time Waltham Police Academy.  Fulfilling his goal of establishing a career in public safety, Mike earned a position with the Department of Environmental Police, as a Police Officer and then an Investigator working with the Attorney General's Office.

Throughout his 18-year career with the Environmental Police, Mike maintained his focus on higher education, attending Western New England College nights and weekends to achieve a Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Criminal Justice.  Mike chose to broaden his work experience by becoming an Assistant Deputy Superintendent at the Worcester County Sheriff's Office, responsible for the Community Service Program, inmate reintegration program, and Senior Citizen community outreach safety programs.

Under his leadership, the Sheriff's Office created the Worcester County TRIAD senior citizen program, working to identify and address senior citizen safety concerns in individual towns throughout the county with programs that include: house number, 911 Cell Phone Bank, Beacon of Light, File for Life, and many more.  Mike was also responsible for development of the Area Law Enforcement Response Transmission (ALERT) program, which sends a daily email out to law enforcement officials on recently released inmates, and the Responsible Fatherhood Initiative, a Department of Revenue sponsored program that confirms parenthood of inmates to reduce welfare fraud. The Community Service Program has likewise saved Worcester County cities and towns over $3.8 million in labor costs over the last three years for local projects.

In keeping with his commitment to public service, he is now serving in his seventh year on the Millbury Board of Selectmen.

Mike is married to Ellyn Lazar-Moore, an Assistant District Attorney with the Worcester County District Attorney’s office, with two children, ages 4 and 6.
