On behalf on Chief Anthony Gibson and the entire Baldwin Police Department, we would like to send our most heartfelt condolences to the New Iberia Police Department and the family of Chief Todd D’Albor.
From our law enforcement family to yours, we stand with you in mourning and offer our sincere support during this time of profound loss.
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the New Iberia Police Department announces the passing of Chief Todd D’Albor.
Chief D’Albor has dedicated more than 30 years of service to law enforcement, serving with the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office, Saint Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office, Saint Martinville Police Department, and Jennings Police Department.
In December 2017, Chief D’Albor was appointed as the first Chief of Police of the newly reestablished New Iberia Police Department, making a historic moment for our city. Chief D’Albor faithfully and proudly served with honor, integrity, and dedication until his passing.
Chief D’Albor was instrumental in rebuilding the New Iberia Police Department after it was dissolved in 2004. From purchasing the Department’s first ink pen to acquiring uniforms and units, Mayor Freddie DeCourt and Chief D’Albor worked side by side to build a Department from the ground up and establish a new vision for the citizens of New Iberia.
Throughout his distinguished career, Chief D’Albor earned the respect and admiration of colleagues, community members, public officials, and fellow law enforcement officers through his compassion, professionalism, and commitment.
Chief D’Albor was more than a leader; he was a mentor, friend, and servant of the community. His impact will be felt for generations. Chief D’Albor’s legacy will continue to inspire all who had the honor of knowing and working alongside him. He will forever remain a part of the New Iberia Police Department.
The men and women of the New Iberia Police Department extend their deepest condolences to the Chief’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. We ask the community to keep Chief D’Albor’s family in their thoughts and prayers.
Funeral arrangements will be announced as they become available.
Chief D’Albor will be honored with full law enforcement honors.
Chief,
You fought a courageous battle. Even during your most difficult days, you remained dedicated to and involved until your final moment.
Your name will forever be attached to the New Iberia Police Department. Thank you for everything you taught us. Thank you for your unwavering dedication, leadership, and friendship. We honor your life and thank you for the countless sacrifices you made for us, the Department, and the community.
We will make you proud.
Get your rest, Chief; we have it from here.
NI-1, 10-7.
With respect, honor, and love,
The Men and Women of the New Iberia Police Department
