You never know what situations may arise at the start of your shift. Officer McElligott responded to a call at Legacy Park regarding a hawk trapped in the breezeway. With a little ingenuity, she successfully captured the hawk and released it safely without injury.

Congratulations Dr. Kolluru!

We have a new president — Dr. Ramesh Kolluru!

Dr. Kolluru’s commitment to strengthening the University’s academic mission, student experience, research enterprise and service to Louisiana is rooted in his time as a student, faculty member and senior administrator.

Chief Tim Hanks and UL Lafayette Police Department ask you help us congratulate Lt. Michelle Broussard on her retirement.

During her career from July, 1995 to February, 2026, Lieutenant Broussard earned the respect of colleagues and the community through her dedication, professionalism, and steady leadership. She served as a patrol shift supervisor, supervised the Communications Office, managed overtime detail scheduling, and handled numerous other responsibilities that kept the department operating efficiently. Many of the officers who worked under her guidance went on to serve in state, federal, and other local agencies, building highly successful careers shaped in part by her mentorship.

Thank you for your years of service and dedication. We hope you are able to relax and enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

Quite possibly the largest Sunday attendance on record. It was great seeing everyone this year at the Midwinter Fair Rodeo! Only 364 days until the next one!

Night three and a PACKED HOUSE! There’s only one more chance to enjoy the Midwinter Fair Rodeo, see your favorite law enforcement officers and of course visit with the most photographed bull on the planet.

Night two done! Even though the weather was less than ideal, there was a great turnout. There’s still two more chances to attend and say hi to the officers working at the event.
