After careful consideration, Sheriff Craig Webre has announced the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office will not be hosting or participating in events for National Night Out Against Crime due to #COVID19. The event had been scheduled for October 6. Given everything that has happened in 2020, we were all very much looking forward to this event as a way to interact positively with our citizens. While we are disappointed, we do feel this decision is with everyone’s best interest in mind. #NationalNightOut has always been about strengthening bonds in neighborhoods and getting to know others in your community to assist in crime prevention. To that end, if any citizen wants to host a small neighborhood event for those purposes, they are welcome to do so within the guidelines set forth by Governor Edwards, while adhering to all preventive measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. We look forward to next year's event on October 5, 2021! ... See more
