Nicholas Allard

A rising senior at Alvirne High in Hudson where he frequently earns “high honors”, Nicholas has been an active member of the Nashua Police Department’s Explorer Post since 2018. NPD’s post prides itself of giving back to the community, and Nicholas’s strong belief in this component of Explorer life has made him a leader in this area. He has donated countless hours to the Nashua and Hudson communities, and pitches in on the various community projects and events in which Post Coordinator NPD Officer  Patrick Doherty involves the post.

The Police Explorers are a youth organization in the “scouting” tradition, emphasizing law enforcement, for teenagers aged 14-20. The Nashua Police Department’s chapter educates area youth about various aspects of police work, focusing both on current community service and future careers in law enforcement. Nashua’s Explorers Post, lead by NPD officers and coordinated by Patrolman Patrick Doherty, promotes and strengthens leadership skills, provides character-enhancing instruction, develops life skills, and encourages community involvement.

Also an active member of Alvirne High’s Air Force Junior ROTC program, Nicholas received its American Veterans Award, given periodically to rising high school juniors that show a high level of dedication and commitment to Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps.

Other current and recent NPD Explorers have benefited from Nicholas’ strident enthusiasm and dedication to the unit. Recently, Nicholas was selected to serve as the Nashua Police Explorer Post Captain. Nicholas displays the qualities, characteristics, and traits that exemplify the Explorer’s attitude and leadership and service approach to life.
