Across Louisiana, sworn law enforcement officers and criminal justice agencies take seriously their responsibility to protect and serve while ensuring the safety and quality of life of their communities.
Through using the latest technology, innovative strategies and a focus on positive outcomes, these departments are helping create a better quality of life for Louisiana families.
Three such agencies will be honored this year with the 2022 Leaders in Law Awards, presented by Community Foundation of Acadiana (CFA). A $35,000 award will be presented to one Louisiana sheriff’s department, one Louisiana district attorney’s office and one Louisiana State Police troop or section.
Encourage your local law enforcement agency doing exceptional work in your community to apply now through Thursday, March 31, at www.cfacadiana.org/leadersinlaw. The award is presented in partnership with The Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation.
The intent of the award is to bolster morale, increase respect for public service, acknowledge improvements in operations, and encourage extraordinary performance among Louisiana’s law enforcement agencies.
These awards are designed to honor departments who are making the biggest impact in their communities with existing resources.
“Our local Louisiana law enforcement heroes often go above and beyond the call of duty to further connect with their communities through worthwhile causes like mentoring kids, feeding the hungry, and restoring vacant properties and putting them to community use,” said David B. Spencer, Chairman of the Board of the Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation.
“Their generosity and accomplishments aren’t always noticed, but we are committed to bringing recognition to elite law enforcement programs that increase the esteem of law enforcement in our local communities.”
The 2022 applications will be evaluated and scored by a selection committee made up of retired law enforcement professionals. Applications are evaluated based on multiple factors, including but not limited to programs that increase public confidence in law enforcement, objective measures of success or improvement, programs that make the justice system more accessible to and supportive of victims, efficient use of public tax dollars and the use of new technology. An awards ceremony will take place in Lafayette in Fall 2022.
