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.

Project KidCare A Success!

Monday, March 4, 2002

Sheriff Michael W. Neustrom announces that the Project Kid Care event was a huge success! This partnership between the Junior League of Lafayette and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office offered families the opportunity to fingerprint and photograph their children as part of a kit that could be used by law enforcement officials in the event that the child is lost or abducted. Funding for this program was provided by the Junior League's Opportunity Knocks Grant and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office. The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office would like to thank everyone who contributed to this project's success including the Lafayette Junior League, KLFY TV, KATC TV, KPEL Radio, The Daily Advertiser and the Acadiana Mall.
