Without counting overtime or the officers' regular salaries, the conference cost the State Police at least $33,000 for airfare, lodging, meals, registration fees and other expenses, according to a review by The Advocate of more than 200 pages of receipts and travel statements.

Meh. Your Louisiana tax dollars also go to lobbying groups that try to influence Texas politics.

$33k total to send fifteen people to a conference?

That's not expensive at all honestly.

Claiming overtime is bullshite, but anyone who thinks that's a lot of money is clueless.

Wasn't this the plot of Police Academy 5?

I think it's time for Edmonston to go...too much BS happening under his watch. And his penchant for travelling would better be served out of his own pocket instead of us, taxpayers.

I have never understood the need for so many cops. I know the are law enforcement officers who frequent this board and I mean no disrespect to the honorable job that you do. I just don't get why we need all the these city cops, constables, deputies, troopers, weights and standards, city Marshalls, Dea, fbi, homeland security, us marshalls, etc.

That's an enormous tax burden for a population. Most people live their lives without ever breaking the law (minus minor traffic violations) and would never seek to do harm to another person.
