Building A Positive Community

03/05/2026

Dear Chief Hardy,

As you leave your post on March 30, the Brattleboro Area Youth Council hopes you find fulfillment in your retirement. We feel so lucky that you dedicated so many years to improving life in our town. We appreciate you in so many ways:

· You think outside the box in your problem-solving.

· It was so powerful for us having you and your leadership team participate in our November Community Safety Conversation and then in addition come to spend time with us at a recent Youth Council meeting.

· Members note how very kind and supportive you are towards others, no matter what their background is.

Your contributions to positive community law enforcement will not be forgotten. We wish you well and will miss you.

Members of the Brattleboro Area Youth Council & adult advisors Cassandra Holloway & Diana Wahle

Take it inside when temperatures drop.In an emergency, do not wait for it to thaw, seek immediate medical help and perform rescue breathing. Every second counts.
If you need Narcan, contact (802) 254-4444.
Narcan should ideally be stored at room temperature (59°F–77°F).

As we get older, our bodies may handle alcohol differently, such as decreased tolerance when drinking. Hot Tips: snack before sipping; use a designated driver; and skip alcohol altogether if you’re feeling down. If you’re concerned about yourself or an older person you love, get help now at VT Helplink, 802-565-LINK, & online at vthelplink.org
