“I’m happy that … here we are again,” Sheriff Tregre said. “…. Let’s continue our mission which is doing our very best to keep St. John Parish safe.”
Protecting and serving the citizens of St. John Parish remains his top priority, Sheriff Tregre said. The SJSO will continue to diligently work to do this in a respectful manner, enforcing the law with integrity and professionalism, he said.
Officers also will continue to work to develop a closer relationship with the community to fight crime, he said.
Ensuring officers are well trained remains among his main responsibilities. Continuous training and education are essential, Sheriff Tregre said, to ensure officer safety and efficiency, greater situational awareness, and the use of quality investigative techniques.
Sheriff Tregre will continue to monitor special programs such as Protecting Our Precious Seniors, Rape Aggression Defense class, the home/business camera registry, the SJSO’s operation of surveillance cameras, hunter safety, Citizens Academy and Distinguished Gentlemen’s Club. The completion of a new training facility in LaPlace and construction of a new substation in Edgard also are on the horizon.
