As was brought up in the case, the sheriff wanting it is irrelevant if the PD covering an area dissolves.


Sorrento dissolving their PD meant that they had to contract with Ascension Parish Sheriff to cover policing of the area but APSO wasn’t allowed to refuse.

Fair point. I should have said “not that Sid or BR leadership even want it.”

I’ve said this before - I think having one police department would be a net benefit for the parish, but I think there are too many political reasons to keep it from ever happening. BR leadership isn’t going to cede control willingly. BRPD isn’t going to willingly disband. And EBRSO probably wants no part of policing inner-city BR. Especially considering Sid is an elected official, and BRPD’s incompetence makes him look great.

I just don’t see how it can happen unless there’s some sort of massive scandal that brings down all of BRPD.
