The resolution honors David Ricard Sr., the former First Constable of Pawlet, for his exceptional public service over a span of 22 years. Elected in 2003, Ricard significantly enhanced the professionalism of policing in the town and played a pivotal role in mentoring future law enforcement officers. In addition to his primary role as First Constable, he also served as the West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Chief, a patrol officer in Fair Haven, and the highway foreman in Wells, demonstrating his commitment to various aspects of municipal service.

As Ricard concludes his tenure in 2025 by opting not to seek reelection, the resolution expresses the community's gratitude for his contributions to civic life in Pawlet. The General Assembly formally recognizes his dedication and service, and the Secretary of State is tasked with sending a copy of the resolution to Ricard as a token of appreciation for his work.
