Citizen Praises Sheriff's Innovative Programs

Dear Sheriff Neustrom:

Just so you know that I do write complimentary letters in addition to those that criticize, please accept my praise for some of your innovative programs that have been recently highlighted in the media. The programs I speak of are the direct supervision of prisoners approach; the off-site telecommunication visitation for families of prisoners; the call program for the elderly; and the day reporting programs for some offenders. All of these programs show your very humanistic approach to corrections and the general human condition. You are a different kind of sheriff from the standard old Louisiana model, and it has taken some adjustment by the jaded downtown crowd (myself included) to see the wisdom of your ways. Anyway, thank you for your innovative programs, and I am always available with an opinion. I don't lack opinions.

With kind regards, I remain Very truly yours, Albert M. Karre', Jr.

Sheriff Neustrom Launches New Community Awareness Tool

Tuesday, September 23, 2003

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office is now offering a new service for the public – a service designed to increase awareness about sex offenders living in our community. Sheriff Mike Neustrom demonstrated the new software to the media Tuesday and requested media assistance with informing the public about this free service.

Interested parties can log on to the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office website www.lafayettesheriff.com, proceed to the Public Records section, and choose Sex Offender Registry. Viewers can submit a name, address, or city to conduct a search, or they may choose to register to receive updates via email. Email updates will be sent within 24 hours to all registrants who have submitted a notification address that is located within one mile of the home address listed by any Sex Offender who registers with the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office. Individuals may subscribe more than once, possibly registering to receive notification for a work address, address of a friend or family member, daycare, school, park, library or church.

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office is dedicated to providing professional law enforcement services for the community. We are proud to serve Lafayette Parish with advanced technology for a more effective use of resources as we work to continue, “Serving the community with courtesy, professionalism and respect.”
