February 27, 2025 marked a historic moment for the Red River Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Red River Parish Police Jury as Sheriff Glen T. Edwards and Police Jury Administrator Jessie Davis officially signed a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Sheriff’s Office, 911 Communications Center, and Police Jury Office building. This agreement lays the groundwork for a modern facility designed to enhance emergency response, law enforcement services, and local government operations for the citizens of Red River Parish. The new facility will be across the street from the existing courthouse on East Carroll.

Key stakeholders who have played an integral role in bringing this project to fruition attended the signing event. Present at the signing were Sheriff Glen T. Edwards and Police Jury Administrator Jessie Davis, District 4 Representative. Also in the back row (left to right) were Building Committee members John Moore, Jr, District 5 Representative; Office of Emergency Preparedness Director Shane Hubbard; Vice President Ben Taylor, District 6 Representative; RRSO Captain James Moseley, RRSO Lt. Troy Murray, and E911 IT Consultant Daniel Simpson.

Captain Moseley expressed the collective enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are all excited about this new agreement as it paves the way for a facility that will serve the citizens of Red River Parish for generations to come.” He extended his sincere gratitude to the Red River Parish Police Jury board members: William Brown, District 1 Representative; Brandon Hillman, District 2 Representative; Shane Young, District 3 Representative; Police Jury President Tray Murray, District 7 Representative; and the Building Committee members for their dedication and hard work in making this vision a reality.

Construction updates will be provided as the project progresses. This partnership between the Sheriff’s Office and the Police Jury represents a shared commitment to public safety, efficient governance, and the well-being of all residents in Red River Parish.
