Hurricane Preparedness

“Living in Louisiana, we understand that being impacted by a hurricane is not a question of if, but when. Your best tool against a hurricane is preparation,” said LDAF Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M. “I’m urging everyone to have a plan in place for you, your family, your property, and your pets/livestock for this upcoming hurricane season.”


Hurricane season begins June 1 and lasts through November. Now is the time for residents to make a list of items to replenish hurricane emergency supplies and start thinking about how to prepare for the coming hurricane season.

What happens when law enforcement officers need help?

Law Enforcement hosts workshop focused on Mental Health.


LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - What happens when law enforcement officers need help? The Ward 3 Marshal’s Office held a workshop today about the importance of mental health for law enforcement officers.


“Their mental health is much more important than our mental health in lots of respects because they are that thin blue line; they are walking the line between order and chaos in their society, so if they’re walking their own personal line on mental health, they can’t serve our community,” said LCPS Dawn-Petrice Youngs.
