Sterlington Police
Dept
Police Chief: Barry Bonner
School
vacation is almost over and the time for learning is just around the
corner as is football and all the other fun activities that this
time of year brings. As you have probably heard, we had a pretty bad
vehicle accident on Old Sterlington Road in Sterlington. Luckily no
one was killed in this accident, but they were seriously hurt. This
accident occurred on Old Sterlington Road where the curves are next
to the water between Fairway Drive and Sonny Dixon Road, and
involved a sixteen year old child who was one of the drivers. I have
instructed our Police Officers to pay special attention to this area
and to strictly enforce the speed laws at this location. We as a
community can not afford to loose a single child in a senseless
accident that could have been avoided by simply having a stronger
Police presence or enforcement. I assure you that we are going to do
everything possible to help stop this from happening, so please obey
the traffic laws within our Town and drive safe.
I
am proud to announce that the Sterlington Police Department has
obtained state- of -the art -video camera equipment in each one of
our Police vehicles as well as a hand-held radar detector and bullet
proof vests for each of our officers. This was accomplished by the
hard work of our Mayor, Vern Breland. Because of his continuous
efforts in obtaining grant money for our Town, our Police Officers
have the needed equipment to serve and protect our community in a
way that each and every one of us deserves.
If
anyone has a question, comment or complaint, please do not hesitate
to give me a call or stop by and visit. You never know, someone may
have an idea that may save lives or make our town an even better
place to live, but until they are willing to speak their mind these
ideas may never be heard.
Sincerely yours,
Barry Bonner
Chief of Police |
