CHIEF ANDERSON
I am very humbled at the chance to serve as your Police Chief.
To have a positive and fluent relationship with the community, there must be an open line of communication. Your Carencro Police Department consists of 27 police officers and six reserve officers who strive to achieve this type of relationship with the community.
“Dedicated to Serving the Carencro Community with Respect, Trust, Integrity and Professionalism.”
By providing a good quality service of law enforcement, our jobs as law enforcement officials are heavily dependent on how well officers perform in the eyes of the public. We will move forward in a positive direction for a better tomorrow. We will continue to run the police department as a business, and treat the public as our customers. It is incumbent on the Carencro Police Department to be a part of the community and not apart from the community.
“Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” – John C. Maxwell
I look forward to leading the great men and women of the Carencro Police Department as we will continue to grow and become one with our community.
Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of such a great community.
