Hosts reported that the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office opened a new District 3 substation in Prairieville on Henry Road near Old Jefferson Highway to serve rapidly growing residential and industrial areas, including Prairieville, Geismar and Dutchtown.

The program said Sheriff Bobby Webber first identified the need for a third district in 2019 as population and industry expanded across the parish. The new facility is described as modern and fully equipped; the hosts noted it includes a community safe-exchange zone for supervised online purchase meetups and child custody exchanges.

The report emphasized the substation's intended benefits: improved response times, resources for deputies and closer community connections. No formal ordinance, funding vote, contract award or timeline for staffing changes was announced during the segment.
