Hardy, 23-year veteran with Commission, will oversee District 1 programs
Tim Hardy, a 23-year veteran of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, has been promoted to captain in the enforcement division, in charge of officers and operations in District 1, the northeastern corner of the state.
“Capt. Hardy is known for his encouragement of new hunters and anglers, his enthusiastic approach to daily tasks, and his dedication to conservation,” said Col. Dale Caveny, chief of the Commissin’s Division of Law Enforcement. “His leadership and reliability make him a natural for the challenges of this position.”
Hardy is one of nine district enforcement captains across North Carolina. He will supervise 21 officers and a hunter-education specialist. Previously a lieutenant in the same district, he replaces Norman Watts, who retired as captain in northeastern North Carolina.
Hardy will be in charge of enforcing hunting, fishing and boating regulations in his area, plus coordinating boating-safety and hunter-education programs.
“The northeastern region of North Carolina with ancient maritime forests, swamps, rivers and out into the sounds, is an ideal place for hunting and fishing, and certainly boating,” said Hardy. “I take great pride in the northeast region of North Carolina and look forward to working with the sportsmen who enjoy the area.”
Hardy is a 1982 graduate of Ahoskie High School and is a 1984 graduate of Elizabeth City State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science. He completed Wildlife Basic Law Enforcement Training School in 1990. He lives in Bertie County.
