CPSO, together with Concordia Parish Communication District, purchased ten Panasonic TOUGHBOOK 55 laptops for new patrol units. These rugged devises are 5x more reliable than other business laptops and have a battery life of up to 40 hours.
The TOUGHBOOK 55 will allow officers to obtain information and work more efficiently from their unit.
Sheriff David Hedrick and the CPSO would like to thank Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office for allowing us to participate in their grant to acquire a LPR (License Plate Recognition) Unit.
This technology does not ticket drivers.
Functions of the LRP Unit:
Remind drivers of their current speed.
Relay pertinent information/messages to drivers.
Provide law enforcement with information to identify stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons.
The LPR Unit provides technology that increases overall community safety.

Concordia Parish Police Jury issued a no wake zone on all parish lakes that went into effect April 15th.
Beginning Friday, April 30th CPSO along with Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries Department will be patrolling all parish lakes to ensure that the no wake zones are being observed.
Sheriff David Hedrick would like to remind all boaters that adhering to the no wake zone not only ensures safety of boaters but also helps to minimize damage to piers and other property of home owners.
