The resolution honors the memory of K-9 Police Officer Gracie, who served with distinction in the Bennington Police Department. Gracie was a highly regarded member of the force, participating in over 500 deployments and aiding in the recovery of drugs and currency valued at more than $1.6 million. Her contributions extended beyond law enforcement, as she was a beloved figure in the community, frequently visiting local schools and attending community events. The sudden passing of Gracie on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024, deeply affected the residents of Bennington, culminating in a memorial service attended by over 500 people, which included tributes and a 21-gun salute.

In recognition of her service, the resolution expresses condolences to the Bennington Police Department and Gracie's supporters, and it announces the construction of a new K-9 training yard in her honor. The resolution calls for a copy to be sent to key members of the Bennington Police Department, including Police Chief Paul J. Doucette Jr., Lt. Camillo A. Grande, and Officer Robert Murawski, who was Gracie's human caretaker.
