St. Landry Parish Sheriff s deputies are now certified in three less-lethal options following a month-long training on use of force.
The Sheriff s Office says the additional training tools will help the deputies further resolve conflicts that might arise before a firearm is used.
âI saw a need to reallocate funds and grants to purchase additional options that are now available and issue them to my deputies for a less-than-lethal way to resolve a conflict,â said Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz.
