Who is St. Bernard Sheriff's Office

The St. Bernard Sheriff's Office is a professional law enforcement agency with well-trained and equipped officers using the latest technology to fight crime, hesaid. Nearly all the members of the senior command staff are graduates of the well known FBI National Training Academy in Virginia, an enviable statistic for any law enforcement department. The sheriff said the department has come a long way, referring to the day 31 years ago when, as a young basically untrained deputy, he was given the keys to a police unit and put on the streets to patrol St. Bernard, the sheriff said. "Things have changed'' so much over the years, he said, inclyduing an emphasis on hiring the best people, training and equipping them. Participants in the Citizens Police Academy class "will hear about things you may never have dreamed of,'' about this department and how advanced it is, Sheriff Pohlmann said. He said the Sheriff's Office continues to have a good relationship with residents who have shown a willingness to cooperate by making timely calls to the department if they see something suspicious in their neighborhood. "And we back that up with a quick response time'' when calls come in. The sheriff acknowledged "everyone is concerned about drugs'' in society because, like everywhere else in the country, they exact a toll on a community, with the majority of property crime driven by drug abusers stealing to get money for their next high. Some people ask what is different between now and before the parish's devastation by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he said.Read More
