LPSO K-9’s Outfitted with Bullet Proof Vests

The K-9 team at Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office has new gear thanks to the East Side Project Group – 2023 of Leadership Livingston program. Bullet proof vests were funded through sponsors contacted through project members. 

The Chamber coordinated with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office who measured and ordered the vests for the K-9s.  A project reveal / sponsor recognition event on Tuesday, September 9th brought together the K-9 team officers, team members, sponsors, chamber official and stakeholders. 

Sheriff Ard noted at the event, “We appreciate this group looking out for our 4-legged officers.  They work hard every day to protect and assist in the betterment of our parish.  They are eager to serve and are a true support system of the LPSO.”

April Wehrs noted, “This project team is proud to be a part of the work of the K-9 unit at LPSO.  From the day we visited the training center and saw this K-9’s in action, we knew it was a great fit for our group.” 

Members of the project team are Tab Lobell, Tracy Bryson, Seth Mosby, Paul Brignac, Tracy Miley, Lynda Gardiner, Mallory Forbes and Kenny Bayhi.
