It has been an honor to serve as your Chief of Police for the past four years. I have worked diligently with the city administration to hire qualified personnel to build the Abbeville Police Department. I have prioritized training, equipment and manpower so that our patrol division can be proactive against the crime in our city. We have added two K-9 teams (Thanks to the Abbeville Rotary Club) to assist in both patrol and drug enforcement. I will continue to be a working chief and I will work the streets with my officers to combat the criminal element.

Abbeville City Councilwoman Terry Broussard has officially announced her candidacy for re-election to the District D seat on the Abbeville City Council Board, asking constituents for their continued support in the May 16, 2026 municipal election.

A large oak tree passed away on Sunday in Abbeville, with one half crashing onto an unoccupied house on Maude Avenue, while the other half toppled across the street, taking down power lines in the process.
The silver lining is that the house was empty, and there were no pedestrians or vehicles on Maude Avenue when the other half of the tree came down.
