View all 219 ReflectionsTrooper Clardy, it has been 8 years since you were taken from us. The MSP has erected a moving memorial to you at the Charlton Troop Station, but having you there and home with your six children would be a much better scenario.
New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your military and 10 years of law enforcement service.
