As of 12:00 p.m. on July 12, 2019, Sheriff Jayson Richardson has assessed the upcoming weather conditions and the impact it may have on our area and the southern parts of our state. Taking all things into consideration, Sheriff Richardson has chosen to lend some of our equipment and deputies to assist the Louisiana Sheriff's Task Force to better serve those in South Louisiana.  Our Marine Unit and our amphibious land/water HydraTrek Unit have been deployed along with a team of deputies ready to assist where they are currently needed most.  We will continue to monitor this storm as it enters Louisiana and travels north as we make the necessary preparations for our area as well.
