Mr. Hart, crazy how time has flown by. I enjoyed my time being able to work along side you. Always there to pick your coworkers up when having a bad day and make somebody laugh. I hope to one day have the knowledge you had. You were a tremendous coworker. You always saw the good in every person you came across and always willing to lend a helping hand. We will never forget you Z-6.

I was a college student doing an internship with the Elmore County Sheriffs Office when I met Bart. It was during that internship I decided that Law Enforcement was the only thing I wanted to do with my life and Bart played a role in inspiring me to the career I have now. I’ll never forget and I will always be thankful to him for that.

I was blessed to know Bart, or as we all called him, Mr. Hart. Our paths crossed on many nights as I was working patrol in the city. Mr. Hart was, and always will be, one of the finest officers I have been afforded the opportunity to work with. From fixing his "old man" coffee to letting all the young guys vent, Mr. Hart was a fine example of what we should all like to portray. He loved his job, but most importantly, he loved his God and family. We will always remember you bud.

I attended the Jefferson County Reserve Academy with Bart. He was a true professional. In the short time we spent together, it was apparent that Bart loved his family, and his community. He was smart, honest and a pleasure to be around. He will be sorely missed.

My sincere condolences to his family.
