The City of Broussard is beginning the search for an interim police chief following the announcement of Chief Brannon Decou s retirement.
That letter was also sent to Mayor Ray Bourque, the Broussard City Council and the Broussard Police Department.
According to the letter, Decou s last day as chief will be June 1, 2021.
The City of Broussard has formed a committee to assist in the search for an interim police chief.
The interim chief will serve until the next regular election in the fall of 2022.
The city says that the nine-member committee will be comprised of three council members, the mayor, and five community members who have law enforcement experience. The committee will also review resumes and make recommendations to the city council of up to three candidates for final review by the mayor and the entire city council.
