LAFAYETTE, La. â Crime Fighters of Louisiana, the private entity contracted to provide security cameras for Lafayette, was issued a cease-and-desist letter from Louisianaâs fire marshal for failing to secure a license required by state law.
The company, owned by Lafayette businessman and law enforcement booster Brooks Bernard, canât immediately execute on a cooperative endeavor agreement it quietly signed with Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory in November.
Unknown to the City Council before it was reported by The Current in early December, the agreement allows Bernard to mount his license plate readers on Lafayette Utilities Systemâs poles throughout the city and unincorporated areas of the parish in exchange for giving Lafayette police access to the footage.
