Sheriff Recognizes Deputy of the 1st Quarter
Sheriff Mark Hebert announces the Deputy of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2017. Uniformed Patrol Section Lieutenant Mathew Moore accepted the award from Sheriff Hebert at St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office headquarters in Franklin earlier this month. Sheriff’s deputies are occasionally called to act in a manner beyond routine expectations. The Deputy of the Quarter Award is presented to an employee of the St. Mary Sheriff’s Office who exemplifies that standard. Sheriff Hebert recognizes Lt Moore for his outstanding service above and beyond the call of duty. During a traffic stop, Lt Moore went to great lengths to assist a fatigued driver and a passenger in getting home safely. He has also gone above & beyond in recognizing by-standers for the assistance they gave to law enforcement during a criminal investigation. Sheriff Hebert commends Moore for these outstanding acts and for the professionalism and courtesy he demonstrates daily in his interactions with the citizens of St. Mary Parish. Sheriff Hebert and Chief Deputy Scott Anslum presented Lt Moore with the award certificate and a challenge coin.

St. Mary Law Enforcement Officers Take On Teaching Role at School Safety Summit
On Tuesday, June 6, 2017, law enforcement agencies from across the parish met with school administrators at the St. Mary Schools Safety Summit. The annual gathering features guest speakers who focus on topics such as school climate, culture, safety, and security.
Partnered with law enforcement officers from various agencies, attendees broke out into groups to examine their action plans to respond to an active shooter event. The groups were presented with scenarios that had no right or wrong answers. The mental exercise helped participants understand what they would and could do during an active shooter event.
Sheriff Mark Hebert says, “I thank the superintendent, school board, principals and administrators for their willingness to take proactive steps like these training exercises to help ensure the safety of our children.”
Among the participating agencies pictured are the Morgan City Police Department, Franklin Police Department, Berwick Police Department, the St. Mary Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, and the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office.
