Red River Parish Sheriff’s Office
May 15, 2024

Red River Parish Sheriff Glen Edwards is pleased to announce the addition of Joshua Adams and Timothy (Ethan) Kellogg to his patrol staff.

Deputy Adams previously held Level 3 Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Certification and served as a corrections officer at our agency. Deputy Kellogg is new to the law enforcement field.
Throughout the training, both deputies represented our agency and community with professionalism, determination, and pride. On April 29, 2024, the cadets successfully completed the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Academy, earning Level 1 Certification for Basic Law Enforcement Peace Officers as outlined by the Louisiana POST Council.

A graduation ceremony was held on May 14, 2024 to recognize the accomplishments of the twenty-two member graduating class. During the ceremony, Deputy Adams was recognized for his firearms proficiency by receiving the coveted Firearms (Top Gun) Award! Great job Deputy Adams!

Under the direction of Captain Richard Corbett, the academy consisted of fourteen weeks and more than five hundred hours of intense training. Topics covered included officer survival, active shooter response, officer-down scenarios, firearms proficiency, physical fitness, and chemical weapons. The training also included legal aspects, criminal justice, defensive tactics, driving, diversity, professionalism, law, patrol/traffic, report writing, investigations, and first aid/CPR.

In today’s world, training is vitally important for law enforcement officers. Our goal is to continually build upon the foundation that our deputies receive in the training academy to ensure that we perform our jobs professionally and safely while striving to serve our community.

Congratulations on a job well done and welcome to the team!
