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.

"There are no cuts that can be made!!!" Says JBE as he plans another trip to beautiful Cuba.

What's a trooper to think as JBE smokes a Cuban in Cuba???

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

This are the same State Police administrators who backed JBE, the first time that ever happened. Without the troopers themselves even knowing their union money was used to endorse a poliician.

$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.

$7500 average for flights for 15 guys
$4800 for 3 night stay (8 rooms required at $200 average)
$2250 for food (assuming 3 days per-diem at $50 per person)
$4500 for registration (assuming $300 per person)

That's a total of $19,050. This is what I would expect assuming a 3 night stay. Going $14k over that when you're constantly complaining that you're strapped for cash isn't anywhere near the worst thing you'll see from a government agency but it doesn't make it right.

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.

Edmonson is just making sure we spend the money he almost got for his sweet retirement package secretly rammed through by Neil Riser / Bobby Jindal.

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.
