I would prefer that we dissolve the consolidated parish government model first, then move to things like this.

Currently, when someone in East Baton Rouge Parish (excluding Baker, Central & Zachary) calls 911, either BRPD or EBRSO responds, depending on whether the caller is within Baton Rouge city limits or the unincorporated areas of the parish. Under the proposed consolidation, EBRSO would handle all calls within city limits in addition to their current areas. However, given existing staff shortages in both agencies, this could lead to longer response times and reduced law enforcement presence.

I thought the only downside to this was someone would have to relinquish power on one side, most likely BRPD having to let EBRSO take over for most of the city.

Of all the idiotic ideas I have heard out of our local leaders recently, this is by far the worst. People have to wake up and vote these jokers out of office.

I can’t imagine some of the BRPD guys moving over to the SO. It’s non union and benefits aren’t as good. It’s 2 seperate retirement systems as well.

Sid loves this idea I would be willing to bet.

It would definitely help having a metro style PD rather than what it is now.

There isn’t enough officers to divide it up and be functional.

I know there will be a bunch of crying by officers with having to change shifts and areas but everyone will adapt and be fine

Can you explain? I’m not arguing against you. Just trying to learn what this would entail. I have no idea what the pros or cons would be..

If they did it correctly it would save money. There is a ton of duplication between both departments in command staff, training staff, support services etc.

It’s because BRPD won’t be able to exist without stealing millions of dollars from area now known as St. George to fund its budget.

No shot at amending the constitution. The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer and the keeper of the jail. EBR residents can't "vote" that away.

This is defund the police in disguise. Eliminate BRPD and ask EBR Sheriff’s Department to protect the entire Parish on top of its Civil duties, i.e. collecting taxes and service of lawsuits, subpoenas etc. They will never fund it and they will never be able to staff it.

If BRPD dissolves and EBRSO has to take over 100% of BR patrols and calls which would have to include a lot of additional hires by sheriff wouldn’t property taxes have to go up for the parish to fund increases for Sheriff and maintain same services in rest of parish?

Take the money wherever BRPD gets funded and figure it out a year later. Have BRPD staff merge. It sounds simpler than I'm imagining it is, but that's really all that would be done at that point, no?

What the frick is this? No. no no no. BRPD is a union controlled, pension drowning shithole that made it's own bed. Let the city fix BRPD.

Before this is even entertained, I'd demand that we split the Mayor/President seat, that St George is given its future 2% sales tax (plus what's owed since the election), St George is allowed to form it's own ISD, and BR drops any of its bullshite fighting SG.

I know this may have been kicked around before but that was when BR had it's fat hands in the EBR money bucket. The only reason it has any heartbeat of happening now is because the city of BR is completely fricked and they're like a drowning victim just lashing out maniacally.

No. BR city has a lot of funds that go to the PD. That would now be reallocated to paying a contract to EBRSO. It pays for equipment and salaries for for the new stafff required to handle this area.

Let me say this without validation. Every sheriff has this plan in pocket. All small municipalities are on life support. Baker has a handful left. That’s EBR also. New Roads got a new young chief of police that could make a change. Money wasn’t there so he left after 6 months.

This is the first domino but yall watch for it.

If anyone is against the idea just remember. A chief of police is appointed, a sheriff is elected.
