Chief Brannon Decou

 

Brannon Decou, my wife, Allison Vincent Decou, and I live and raise our two daughters in this community. Allison and my daughters are just a few of the reasons why I am so dedicated to Broussard and have been for the past 17 years.  A resident and active citizen of Broussard and former Trooper of the Louisiana State Police, I was appointed Chief of Police in January 2001 by the City council by a unanimous vote of 5-0. Then in October of 2001 I was elected by the voters in a special election with 76% of the vote. I am a full-time professional chief that is dedicated to providing you with the best protection that we as law enforcement officials can provide. I believe in doing the right thing for the right reason. The issue of quality law enforcement is what I strive to give this city. A police department that is dedicated to serving and protecting you and your children professionally is what you can expect from me. As a father, I understand that the time invested in the future of children is time spent in the future of a community as a whole.
