Statement on Chief Bradley Haas

Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella releases the following statement:

“I offer my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Security Officer and former Franklin Police Chief Bradley Haas. He proudly spent decades serving and protecting his hometown and his state.

As a nearly 30-year law enforcement veteran and a former military police officer in the U.S. Army, Chief Haas was already a hero when he walked into work yesterday. Now Chief Haas will forever be remembered as the man who sacrificed his own life to save the lives of the many people inside New Hampshire Hospital.

Yesterday’s tragic incident is yet another reminder of the dedication and selflessness of our law enforcement officers who put themselves on the line to protect and serve their communities. Chief Haas embodied this spirit as much as anyone. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.”
