Great work Livingston Parish, you're doing your state proud!
All of the deputies in these incidents were employed under Ard. There are tons more that didn't make the news.

Here's a FB post from Jeremy Brister, Jason Ard's right-hand man in the 2010 election when retired State Trooper Mickey Mcmorris ran against him. Those 2 and Dennis Perkins were an inseparable trio
My absolute favorite Ard quotes:
"Every police officer knows if you don't write it down, it didn't happen...."
Followed up 20 seconds later by:
"... so I took it upon myself to do a verbal investigation"
Imagine that guy being in charge of law enforcement and tax collection for an entire parish
But hey, a win by .16% is still a win

Are there any rumors floating around that there may have been any election shenanigans? How is it that you guys are completely neck and neck on in person voting and so lopsided in the Mail in ballots. Seems statistically weird
The real issue is 41% mate. That turn out was terrible. 86k registered voters in the parish.

Did we ever learn why Brandon Browning abruptly dropped out of the race? That guy was all over FB and doing podcasts, then crickets. Was he threatened? Someone have dirt on him?

Brett was a better candidate then Brandon but rumors around LP were Brandon was going to be Chief Deputy. I don’t know that for certain but I’m sure sarge could answer it.

Brett is Sarge. And no, more FB propaganda. He was not in my staff at all. It’s amazing how much people grasp to rumors on FB

I heard it from someone within the dept. it was true but it was believable being Brandon and step poppy were at lots of campaign stops.

This was a domestic situation between a mother and father and the mom hired a doctor on her behalf to get the children. This happens all the time in custody battles and police can’t step in and arrest a father based on just the mother’s words without some solid evidence. I get this one is touchy. I don’t like it because kids, especially young ones can be manipulated in custody battles. I don’t have a good answer for this having lived through similar circumstances. I’m sure other fathers on here can understand these types of situations are not always cut and dry.

In almost every instance, it was the LPSO who arrested and fired their own. That sounds more like accountability than, let’s say, what’s happened at BRPD and NOPD. Your list actually in a way proves the LPSO is doing its job.
To be clear, LPSO made some mistakes and could be better. I’m not defending them across the board. My stance isn’t to say LPSO is perfect. My stance is it isn’t some hidden pedo ring run by monsters. It’s a police department with human beings in it and wherever humans exist, mistakes and imperfection happen. The fact all these cops were fired kinda shows they tried to correct it.

Well, I don't live in LP but several family members do so I follow the politics. I think you were the right man for the job and would have been honored to vote for you. As we all know the real problem is voter apathy. The loudest bitchers on social media are the least likely to vote. Almost as if they think they are more influential on social media than voting.
You came across as genuine, transparent and accessible. Stay relevant and you will be in next election. Ard isn't changing.

I honestly think ard retires after this term. If so field will be full of candidates
Posted on 10/20/23 at 10:28 am to theunknownknight
Tell me about the investigation the Ard opened up when the father of a young girl came to him when he believed Perkins was breaking the law involving sexual activity with kids.
Or, are you telling me that LPS ONLY opens a file (writes something down) only after evidence is found? When you initiate an investigation don’t you have to notate that somewhere?

You mean it wasn’t true correct? And he only showed at Delatte’s events. Neither him or his pops attended a single one of mine. This is a prime example of what’s wrong in LP politics. That’s why I’m staying in the game to mitigate the garbage being spread. They also made a fake pic of “my staff.” Voters in the LP will not reach out to the opposition for facts. “Well so and so said….so it must be true.” I had one guy picked for my #2 and he still works at LPSO. Crazy huh?

No, what I’m saying is police can’t immediately jump on every accusation with public investigative authority. If they did, they’d have to quadruple the size of the force. They did look into allegations and Perkins snaked his way out of it, that’s why Ard was so pissed and went after him. Perkins was lying to his face and to the rest of the department.
Just because we have all the facts now (gathered by LPSO btw) doesn’t mean they existed then.
Posted on 10/20/23 at 11:24 am to theunknownknight
Sorry to derail the thread.
But this wasn’t just any accusation was it? This was an accusation about someone potentially harming a child AND It was an accusation about one of Ard’s employees AND that accusation was coming from someone in law enforcement.
Sounds like you know a bit about the policy and inner workings of the LP Sheriff’s office. Is it common practice for LPS employees to take complaints about potential criminal activity, ask the person accused if they did it, take “no” as an answer and never open a file on the matter? Or, is that just the case with Ard’s friends?
BTW, in the press conference Ard blamed the complainant for the fact that didn’t happen…

I know inner workings of police procedure. And so would the cop who came forward. He could have requested a case file be opened. All it takes is a formal written complaint. He would know this as an officer. This complaint would be available via a freedom of information request.
If there is one, then a formal investigation is opened. If not, it’s informal.
I’m not saying there WASN’T one, if there wasn’t one, the reporting police officer didn’t write one for a reason.

Yeah they're doing a great job of screening their employees, bro. But don't take my word for it, check out the election results to see what people think.

You don’t have to say if there was one or not, Ard did. There wasn’t one, He said it was a “verbal” investigation. I also don’t think it’s the reporting persons job to open a case. That would be the officer that took the complaint, in this case Jason Ard.
Here is my issue, are you telling me if Livingston Parish law enforcement is told that there is a potential crime involving children, it’s standard practice to open an official case following official procedures ONLY if the person making the complaint requests for them to do so? There is no obligation independent of the complainant to ensure that department procedures are followed and this is handled by the book?

Get off your high horse.
Have you even looked into how many people are applying to be policemen these days and how many we actually NEED?
if you had any clue whatsoever you wouldn’t have implied something so retarded.
Police forces across the board are suffering shortages. While keeping that in mind, the uniform usually, not always, attracts particular types of people. I get that.
So for people to complain that bad apples get through is naive. Of course they do. These same people would cry we don’t have enough officers when shite hits their fans.
It’s the same issue with teachers. We can’t get good teachers in LP because these tards who ran the parish were only interested in lining their pockets with developers instead of trying to attract big businesses.
Now we are a bed and breakfast parish getting THREE, that’s right, FRICKING THREE applications a year at job fairs because we can’t pay them with all these awesome new homes and property taxes.
Yet I bet the tards will seal clap about “MUH teachers!” when the rooster comes home to roost.
LP was the last true red parish in SE LA and we’ve been invaded on every side by city tards, how could anyone hold any sheriff to the standard of the 1980s or 1990s when LP today is closer to BR 15 years ago?
Sarge should count his blessings because this parish is on a downward trend culturally and he’d be the one everyone would be shitting on 4 years from now because the office itself sucks and is unforgiving in todays social media age.

And that isn’t on Ard, but the cop reporting. So ask yourself why he didn’t?
Think for a second.

Just to be abundantly clear, if I go to Jason Ard and tell him a murder occurred but I tell him I don’t want to file an official complaint, it’s ok for him to act like it never happened? It’s utterly incumbent on the person reporting and the LSPO has zero obligation to progress it? Even in the case of child abuse?
