Congratulations to Deputy Olugbenga Shomade, he is following the footsteps of his Work Release co-workers and supervisors and setting a trend in the process.

In May, Deputy Shomade passed the ACA Corrections Officer Exam. With this accomplishment, Shomade became the first driver to obtain this status and the fourth Work Release employee to receive ACA certification.

Junior Achievement Appreciates LPSO Volunteers

Dear Sheriff Neustrom,

Junior Achievement of Acadiana gratefully acknowledges the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office's generous support of economic education programs at Ernest Gallet Elementary School. Last year the departure of Ocean Energy employees greatly impacted the number of volunteers who supported the program at Gallet. Fortunately, when we called upon Donna Delahoussaye she responded by helping to recruit volunteers from the Sheriff's Office... Junior Achievement applauds the efforts of the staff at the Sheriff's Office for taking an active approach to forming a powerful partnership that enriches the educational experience for the students at Ernest Gallet and other schools in the parish.

Sincerely, Michele Boustany, Education Manager

Deputies representing the Administrative, Enforcement and Corrections Divisions were recognized for outstanding service to the Sheriff's Office and the citizens of Lafayette Parish.

Enforcement:

Deputy Karry Falcon – Deputy Falcon serves in Patrol and was nominated for his actions while investigating a suspicious vehicle found abandoned in a field. Upon closer inspection of the area, Deputy Falcon discovered a pipe which was later determined to have been stolen by the driver of the vehicle. The driver was later questioned by detectives and admitted that he had burglarized several businesses. He also provided information that eventually resulted in the arrest of four other subjects in connection with other burglaries under investigation.

Administration:

Deputy Glenda Prejean – Deputy Prejean serves in the Civil & Tax Division and is described as a “dedicated and professional employee" who has proven to be “a valued asset to the Tax Department by her systematic approach to the bookkeeping and accounting tasks required by her position." This tax season, the Sheriff's Office will collect millions of dollars in taxes, and Deputy Prejean “stays on top" of all tasks involved.
