Law Firm: Former Broussard Chief Violated Harassment Policy
That’s according to a summary of that investigation provided by Mayor Ray Bourque.
In a letter to Bourque, Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson, LLC, says the allegations reported by KPEL and other news outlets were “corroborated by information obtained through the investigation.” The letter also says department leadership did not pursue any harassment complaints. However, the law firm concluded that Decou’s actions were not illegal.
In as statement, Mayor Bourque says he, three council members, and five community members with law enforcement experience will form a committee to interview and recommend an interim chief. The city council will make the final appointment.
