The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Academy is facilitated at the TPSO Rifle Range. It is responsible for basic law enforcement training for new law enforcement and correctional officers. Lesson plans meet the requirements of the Louisiana Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Council. In conjunction with offering what is required, extensive elective courses which better prepare officers for their career are taught. This training is not limited to within our jurisdiction. However, agencies from around the state send their upcoming Law Enforcement Officers through this course.

 

This team is comprised of employees of the Houma Police Department (PFC. Andy Scott) and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office (Capt. Tim Lucas, 1st Lt. Jamie Trahan, Lt. Michael Morrison, and Sgt. Taylor Billiot). In conjunction with the training of new employees, our team also is responsible for the recertification of all current employees.
