Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office layoffs have begun.

Just trimming the fat.

Cant they just do a few more no refusal checkpoints or cash seizures from random people who are probably guilty anyway?

Can't they just charge a fee to companies that want to be the Official ______ of the University of Louisiana?

I mean, they could do that if they were in Monroe, but this is Lafayette.

Let me guess, all low-level guys while the higher paid admin guys who do almost nothing get to keep their jobs.

Hey now! Somebody has to jump in front of the media's cameras and give an interview ya know!

One thing that parishes could do to save money on law enforcement is to not have city police.. Unless a city has a certain population.. All of these small towns and villages that have its own police chief, 3 or 4 deputies. Eliminate those departments.

Let's say a parish has 5 small towns that have its own police department. They each have a chief of police, 3 or 4 deputies who do not get the same training as sheriff deputies. Why not cut those small town departments and whatever the parish gives each department, give the sheriffs department 75% of what they gave those departments and the sheriffs department can use that money to hire a few more, better trained officers...

JBE and SWB plan at it’s finest

That's K + to you.

Just kidding

Bet they don't cut back on the inmates grass cutting and trash cleaning down Garber Lane.

Will Sharon Hyphen Broom Hold a press conference tomorrow to explain how this is all Saint George’s fault?
