2009 "Kiss a Cop" Event
LPSO as well as other local agencies participated in the annual "Kiss a Cop" event hosted by Faith House. The event is held every October during Domestic Violence Awareness month.

The staff and residents of Faith House host "Kiss a Cop" and invite law enforcement to have dinner with the children currently residing at Faith House.

The purpose of the event is to show children that law enforcement are the "good guys", since the only prior experience many of them have had with law enforcement involved their response to a domestic violence incident.

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

LRP Serves the Community

Friday, February 16, 2007

Students in the Leadership and Resiliency Program gave with their hearts this Valentine's Day as they partnered with The Extra Mile on a community service project. LRP participants made valentine greetings and stuffed goody bags for residents at Amelia Manor Retirement Center. Thirty residents identified by Amelia Manor staff as individuals who receive seldom visits were treated to this gift. LRP students personally delivered the greetings and visited with the residents. Zoe Zenner with The Extra Mile said Amelia Manor Retirement staff was enthusiastic about the project and overall pleased with its success.
