Deputies Recognized for Heroic Efforts
June 12, 2026
Today, Sheriff Tim Soignet would like to proudly recognize three Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Deputies who were honored by University Medical Center for their life-saving actions during the 2026 Mardi Gras season.
While working parade security, the Deputies responded to a young girl who suffered a serious injury after falling from a flatbed trailer. The fall resulted in a deep laceration to her leg and significant blood loss. Drawing upon their training and remaining calm under pressure, the Deputies quickly rendered aid and applied a tourniquet to control the bleeding until emergency medical personnel arrived.
Their actions exemplified the importance of the “Stop the Bleed” initiative, which equips first responders and members of the public with the skills needed to intervene during life-threatening bleeding emergencies.
We are happy to report that the young patient made a full recovery, and her outcome serves as a testament to the Deputies’ quick thinking, training, and commitment to protecting the citizens of Terrebonne Parish.
The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office congratulates these deputies on this well-deserved recognition and thanks them for their dedication, professionalism, and service to our community.
“When seconds matter, training saves lives. These Deputies demonstrated exactly why preparedness and decisive action are so important,” said Sheriff Tim Soignet. “We are proud of their efforts and grateful for the positive outcome in this case.”
