Bill > HB284

This bill provides for the abolition of the police chief position and police department in the village of Hall Summit, Louisiana. Specifically, the bill allows the board of aldermen to eliminate the office of police chief, with the abolition taking effect either at the end of the current police chief's term or when a vacancy occurs, whichever happens first. If the position is currently filled by a temporary appointee, the abolition can take effect according to a municipal ordinance. Additionally, the bill authorizes the mayor and board of aldermen to contract with other law enforcement entities within Red River Parish to provide police services for the village. This means that instead of maintaining its own police force, Hall Summit can now arrange for law enforcement coverage through agreements with other local agencies, potentially reducing municipal costs and administrative overhead.
