Use of Lafayette Police Department officers for the M-P’s full-time personal security is the subject of an investigation launched by the City Council late last year.
A seldom-used LPD dignitary protection unit has become M-P Josh Guillory’s full-time security. Council members have asked an audit firm to probe the arrangement.
