The BRAT, which stands for Brattleboro Resource Assistance Team, consists of uniformed, unarmed personnel dedicated to enhancing public safety in the downtown area. This initiative began as a pilot program launched by the Brattleboro Police Department in 2022.

The police department emphasized that being part of the BRAT team necessitates a blend of patience, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills, which are essential in fostering a safe and inviting community environment.
