Four people are running to be Police Chief of the Acadia Parish city of Crowley.
The four candidates are A. “Jimmy” Broussard, Dexter Faulk, Scott Fogleman and Troy Hebert.
We asked each of the candidates these three questions:
1. Over the past several years, there have been conflicts and some controversies within the department. How do you plan to address these issues, and any similar issues that arise in the future?
2. Crowley has seen many shootings, some involving juveniles, in recent years. Do you see juvenile crime as an issue in the city? If so, what is your plan to address it? If not, why do you believe it is not an issue?
3. Some areas of Crowley seem to have a high crime rate; the area near the Kathy Apartments come to mind. Is targeted enforcement something you feel is warranted in the city?
