Staff Report
The challenges of 2020 would seem to have kept Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi busy enough, but 2021 will raise the bar higher.
Stassi, now in his third term, recently was elected the next president of the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association. In addition, he was among three sheriffs Gov. John Bel Edwards appointed to the Louisiana Sheriff’s Executive Institute.
Stassi, who took office in 2012, will assume the top spot for the Sheriff’s Association in July. He will succeed Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard, who also became sheriff in 2012.
Stassi was elected by the 63 other sheriffs statewide.
He heads into the role of president amid the challenges law enforcement officers have faced in every part of the country.
