By the Numbers – Update from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office

Sheriff Joe Lopinto, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office 

Sheriff Lopinto provided an update on crime statistics, in comparison to Orleans Parish, for residents and business owners of Jefferson Parish.  A crime lab, a body camera program recently purchased with COVID money, and a criminal intelligence center that works with the New Orleans Police Department, are all tools that JPSO uses to help solve crimes quickly.
