Abolishes the office of police chief and police department in Edgefield, allowing the village to contract for law enforcement services.
Louisiana HB115 provides for the abolition of the office of police chief and the police department in the village of Edgefield. The board of aldermen may, upon the mayor's recommendation, abolish these positions, but this cannot occur until the end of the current police chief's term or when a vacancy arises. If the office is abolished, the village can contract with other law enforcement entities within Red River Parish for police services. This law allows for a transition in law enforcement services while maintaining public safety.
