    Central City Eyes Sheriff Partnership

    Central City is exploring a new partnership with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office to boost police presence without cutting its own force. Approved by the State Attorney General, the plan lets both agencies share patrol duties within city limits—keeping Central officers on the beat while adding sheriff’s deputies for extra coverage. Mayor Wade Evans insists funding won’t come from slashing the police budget, and Police Chief Roger Corcoran believes the city can afford a full-time department, citing nearby towns as proof. But for now, the mayor’s focus is on cost control, with a proposal headed to city council to kick off formal talks. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Gun Violence Lessons for Young Minds

    This summer’s youth mentoring program tackled gun violence head-on, with Constable Terrica Williams guiding kids ages six to seventeen through the harsh realities of firearm-related tragedies. Using real community stories, she highlighted Louisiana’s alarming gun death rates and the ripple effects on families and neighborhoods. Inspired by the recent Mall of Louisiana shooting, the program also aimed to rebuild trust between young people and law enforcement, emphasizing that officers are allies—not just enforcers. Though the sessions ended, Williams hopes the lessons on making better choices and understanding the cost of violence will linger—and transform lives long after summer fades.
