The East Bridgewater Police Department is sad to announce the passing of our former Police Chief William “Bill” Tardie. Chief Tardie was with the East Bridgewater Police from 1956 when he was hired as a patrolman and served as Chief of Police for ten years from 1970 to 1980. Chief Tardie retired in 1980 from the police department but loved the community so much he worked as a crossing guard and constable for many years after. Chief Tardie was 83 years old, Godspeed Bill.
