Starting tomorrow, the Broussard and Scott Police Departments are implementing new COVID restrictions.

"Chief Vance Olivier and The Broussard Police Department remain committed to the safety of the citizens of Broussard, in addition, the health and well-being of each citizen is a concern. With this in mind, Broussard Police Department will be altering our operations within the agency," a post on the BPD Facebook page states.

"Effective Tuesday, August 3, 2021, the Broussard Police Department will be suspending all fingerprinting and vehicle inspections at our office. All visitors coming into the Broussard Police Department will be required to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. In-person interviews by police officers may be conducted outside the police department. Payments for most citations may be paid online," the post states.
