The Platform
My priorities for the Pearl River Police Department
A clear, practical plan built around the things that matter most to our residents.
Community Policing
Officers who know our neighborhoods by name. I'll expand visibility, neighborhood patrols, and regular community meetings so trust is built before it's ever needed.
Crime Reduction
Smart, data-driven enforcement focused on what residents actually feel — property crime, drugs, and repeat offenders — while keeping response times fast across town.
Transparency & Accountability
Body cameras, clear use-of-force standards, and regular public reporting on department activity. When the community can see the work, trust follows.
Officer Support & Recruiting
Competitive pay, modern training, and real support for the officers who serve us. A well-staffed, well-led department is the foundation of a safe Pearl River.
Traffic & Roadway Safety
Targeted enforcement on Highway 41, I-59, and school zones to protect drivers, pedestrians, and our kids on the routes families use every day.
Drug Prevention & Enforcement
A firm stance on the drug activity affecting our region — pairing enforcement with prevention, school outreach, and partnerships that help families facing addiction.
Storm & Emergency Readiness
Louisiana knows hurricanes and flooding. I'll maintain a clear emergency plan, coordinate with St. Tammany Parish, and keep residents informed and protected when it counts.
Youth & School Programs
Positive relationships with young people through school resource support, mentorship, and outreach that steers kids toward opportunity — not trouble.
Regional Partnerships
Strong coordination with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office and neighboring agencies, so Pearl River gets the resources and backup of a much larger force.
