Good afternoon to my town. Most of you know me. If you don’t, my name is Wade F**t. I have been your Chief of Police for just over a year now. I would like to ask for my town’s help. If you know me, you know my number one priority is the safety of my town, so you and your family feel safe in our community and homes. Glenmora is not the sleepy little town we grew up in; crime is becoming more violent. Gunshots are heard everywhere. The only way to stop this is with more police presence and more police patrolling our community. Because I want my men to patrol more, ticket writing has been low the last few months. Because of this, my budget has been put up to be cut. Defunding my Police Department will only make me have to cut personnel, meaning less men to patrol and keep our families safe. I am only allowed five men at part-time. If you support our police department, I only ask that you come to our next town council meeting. If you decide to come, I ask that you are not coming for a fight but to support our police department. The next council meeting is next Monday, February 9th, at 6 pm. Please come a little earlier because meetings have been known to start early.

As we enter this cold weather event, the Glenmora Police Dept will be patrolling the roadways. If there are any citizens in need of assistance please contact the Rapides Parish Substation at 318-748-4226 and they will dispatch us to you. Please call for any welfare checks also. Stay warm and don’t forget to drip those faucets.

***A statement from Chief Hicks of the Glenmora Police Department….***

I’d like to start this by saying my thoughts and prayers are with the family of Derrick Harris. I’ve known Derrick, like many of you, since he was a kid. He was a good person and deserved better. It’s time for us to come together as a community and remember Derrick for what he was, a person who made us laugh, a person who made others around him smile and a person who could light up a dark room with his presence.

Derrick had a bright future, which was unfortunately taken from him. And because of that, his family and our community mourns. His family has suffered a tragic loss that will be with them for the rest of time. I can’t begin to imagine what they’re going through.

On this day, just two days after the incident, the last suspect was taken into custody. This would not have been possible without the selfless dedication by detectives at the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office and officers of the Glenmora Police Department, and for that, I thank them. I would also like to thank the community for their perseverance and willingness to help law enforcement bring this case to a close. Whether it be at the scene or the multiple phone calls after, it was very much appreciated.

This act was an act of cowardice and senselessness. We hope now for the courts to bring those responsible to justice for the horrific crime they have committed. Now is not a time for retaliation and more bloodshed. Again, I pray this community comes together in remembrance of Derrick and ask that you also remember the Harris and Baker families in your prayers.

Thank you,

-Chief Jacob Hicks
