On October 1, 2024, Captain James Moseley and K-9 Sergeant Lee Petersen of the Red River Parish Sheriff’s Office had the opportunity to visit with Pre-K3 through 4th grade students at Riverdale Academy.
Captain Moseley brought along one of our department’s drones and put it in flight for all to see. To the delight of the students, Sergeant Petersen was joined by K-9 partner Max as he discussed how they work together to enforce laws in our community.

The deputies were joined by firefighters from the Red River Parish Fire Protection District who brought along a fire engine, firefighting equipment and fire suits, which some of the students attempted to wear! Medics from Red River EMS also allowed the kids to come on board their medic unit where some were amazed to hear the sound of a heartbeat through a stethoscope!

According to Kindergarten teacher and event organizer, Mrs. Mary Ann Longino, the students enjoyed everything so much.

Sheriff Edwards shared on social media how much the RRPSO appreciates the opportunity to interact with students on our school campuses. “Thank you for the invitation, Mrs. Longino. Our deputies had a blast.”
