This was an important goal for him as well. Peter earned his Associate’s Degree in Law Enforcement from Middlesex Community College in May, 1990 and a Bachelor’s Degree in General Studies from Eastern Connecticut State University in December, 1996. He accomplished this goal of his just five months prior to his 40th birthday.
