Mike Hardy is not a college football coach.
However, like a college football coach, Hardy has spent a good bit of time on the recruiting trail.
Since his return as Abbeville Chief of Police on July 1, Hardy has actively sought to bring new people into the department. That included a stop by the Rotary Club of Abbeville’s weekly meeting last Wednesday.
“This is happening right now,” Hardy said, “I am actively recruiting, everywhere I go. If I speak at a meeting, I’m going to ask if you know anyone between the ages of 18 and 78.

Dozens of volunteers joined forces last September to clean up Abbeville.
They are ready to do it again, and would love for you to join them.
Abbeville’s Cleanup Day Part 2 is set for Saturday, Sept. 24, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Volunteers will meet at the Christian Service Center, located at 701 Chevis St. in Abbeville.
Nikia Leblanc, owner of Math Depot, which is one of the sponsors, and vice president of the Vermilion Reach Group, is ready to go.
