Montgomery AL turning traffic accidents over to Louisiana rent-a-cops

Former Mayor Emory Folmar is rolling in his grave. What a clown show.

The City of Montgomery is contracting with a private Louisiana company to handle some accident investigations. TrafficServe is a startup civilian accident investigation company that will handle minor accidents in place of Montgomery Police officers. The company will provide three cars for civilian traffic accident investigators and two additional employees for eight hours a day, five days a week. The civilian investigators will write up accident reports for minor accidents during that time and handle light traffic duties. The city is funding its services at a cost of $1.45 million for the first year of the contract. By comparison, a new trained and certified Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy, including salary and benefits, would’ve cost only $100,000 each annually, according to Montgomery County Commission chairman Doug Singleton. Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys said at a Montgomery City Council meeting in October that the TrafficServe was run by a retired police chief. However, the co-founder and CEO of the company, Marcus Mitchell Toussaint, was actually an assistant chief of police in Shreveport who was originally fired from his position in 2022 due to an alleged sexual encounter with a female investigator at the police station. His termination was later reversed, and he was allowed to retire.

St George is doing something similar, On Scene Services, for $1.5M. They have 10 employees and hours are 6am-10pm.
How much are retirement and other benefits over the life for a sheriff office?

Private deputization is pretty rare but it could work. I think US Marshalls can do this but not sure if it is even allowed in most states.
There is a shitload of paperwork you need to run through for traffic accidents and it could actually be more cost efficient to have a private company putting the reports together instead of some government employee that has absolutely zero incentive to move the paperwork along at more than a snail's pace. They could use some AI tools that would take on notes from the on scene private cop and put it together into a report in 30 seconds that might take some bureaucratic pencil pusher a few days of arse scratching to finally get to the right desk.
