Port Barre rehired assistant police chief; chief says department exploring grant-funded cameras
Summary
The council approved rehiring an assistant police chief and Chief Boudreaux reported he is exploring townwide camera installation using grant funds awarded to the police department. The minutes do not specify the rehired officer's full name or the grant amount.
The Port Barre council approved a motion to rehire an assistant chief of police who had previously resigned; the minutes record the motion (moved by Ronnie Kimble and seconded by Donald Robin) and list the vote as unanimous but do not provide the rehired individual's full name in the meeting record.
Chief Boudreaux delivered the police department's monthly report and told the council he is looking into installing cameras throughout the town using grant money awarded to the department. The minutes do not include the grant's source or amount, nor do they provide a timeline or procurement steps for camera installation.
The council also accepted departmental reports by motion; no additional staffing or budget details tied to the rehiring or camera plan were recorded in the minutes. Follow-up steps such as formal personnel paperwork, grant documentation, or procurement actions were not specified and would normally be handled by town administration and the police department.
