Today, I am proud to announce the appointment of Andrew Broussard as Interim Chief of Police for the City of St. Martinville.

Chief Broussard began his career with the St. Martinville Police Department in 2012 as a Patrol Officer. Through hard work, dedication, and leadership, he advanced through the ranks, serving as a Detective in 2014, Patrol Sergeant in 2015, CID Sergeant in 2017, and was promoted to Deputy Chief in 2020.

Throughout his career, Chief Broussard has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public service and has earned the respect of his fellow officers, city employees, and the citizens he serves. His experience, professionalism, and leadership make him exceptionally qualified to guide the department during this transition.

As we move forward, I have full confidence in Chief Broussard's ability to lead the department, support our officers, and continue the important work of protecting our community and maintaining public trust.

On behalf of the City of St. Martinville, I want to thank Chief Broussard for accepting this responsibility and for his continued dedication to our city. Please join me in congratulating him on this appointment and wishing him success in this new leadership role.

Before they learn to walk, they learn to hold on. A father's hand is one of the first places a child feels safe, the steady grip that says you are not alone and you never will be. Today we honor the men of St. Martinville who show up in those quiet, everyday moments. The dads, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, and father figures whose love shapes the next generation of our community. Thank you to every father holding a little hand today, and to those who carry the memory of one.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at the City Hall.

Freedom did not arrive all at once, and it did not arrive easily. On the nineteenth of June, we remember the day word of liberation finally reached the last to hear it, and we hold close the strength of the men and women who carried hope through generations that had every reason to let it go.

Here in St. Martinville, that legacy lives in the families who built this community along the Teche, in the churches that kept faith alive, and in the stories passed down beneath our live oaks. Today belongs to them, and to every neighbor who carries that story forward.

To our elders, and to the young people who will tell it next, we are grateful to walk this day with you.

Personnel are currently working on repairing the line and hope to get water back to customers as soon as possible. Once restored, all areas affected will be under a boil water advisory until samples clear. We apologize for any inconvenience.
