I know this all started because of schools, but as someone who lives in BR proper my biggest concern moving forward is police. Crime has become way worse, even in affluent areas of BR, than it was 5-10 years ago. A guy who lives on Highland near LSU Ave. had all four wheels stolen from his truck last week. They left it on blocks. Even with the StG gravy train, BRPD doesn’t do shite. It’s only going to get worse now. I’d rather burn it all down and give EBRSO the whole parish but I doubt Sid even wants it.
How does this change the policing in St George?
Honest question.
My understanding is that the money for St. George policing essentially stays the same because it won’t have its own police department and will rely on EBRSO. Which it was already paying for.
So BRPD will be LESS funded and EBRSO will stay stagnant no?
So on the basis of staff and policing it will only make crime get worse

Kind of. The city of St. George will be required to have its own police “chief.” Some municipalities have gotten legislative exemptions for that though.
The plans are for the police chief to be basically a liaison for EBRSO.

I think the city of St. George may have to contract EBRSO for police services, once incorporated. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
If so, it might mean a funding increase for EBRSO. But it will still be a decrease for BRPD, and it won’t change the fact that EBRSO doesn’t do any police work within the BR city limits (which is the source of the vast majority of the crime anyway).

From my readings, I believe a city must have a Chief of Police; thus a police department. The size? One man or more.
From what I heard, I believe the planners plan to do the minimum but direct funding from existing taxes to EBRSO to provide more officers and patrols.
