Sergeant Alex Hamzy was an eight-year veteran of the Bristol Police Department who was killed in the line of duty on October 12, 2022. At just 34 years old, Alex lived a life of accomplishments that reads more like a person who was decades older. He always wanted to be a police officer and served his hometown of Bristol with dedication, conviction, and integrity. So, it was fitting that two of the first grants MSCF awarded from the Sergeant Alex Hamzy Memorial Fund were to organizations and programs that were close to Alex’s heart. The City of Bristol Police Department received a $2,500 grant to support the youth cadet program, and the Northeast Regional Law Enforcement Educational Association received a $2,500 grant to support the police cadet training programs.
