Marshal Calvin Cooks, Sr. is proud to announce the purchase and deployment of vehicle pursuit spike strips for the Thibodaux City Marshal's Office.

This critical law enforcement equipment has now been installed in all patrol vehicles, enhancing our ability to safely assist local, state, and out-of-town law enforcement agencies involved in vehicle pursuits entering the Thibodaux Ward Two jurisdiction.

Vehicle pursuits present significant risks to law enforcement officers, innocent motorists, and pedestrians. According to national traffic safety data, hundreds of injuries and fatalities occur each year as a result of high-speed pursuits.

The use of spike strips provides deputies with a proven tool to safely and effectively end pursuits by gradually deflating a fleeing vehicle's tires, reducing the likelihood of dangerous crashes and protecting the public.

This equipment upgrade will allow Deputy Marshals to respond more effectively when assistance is requested by partnering law enforcement agencies, while minimizing risks to our community.

Marshal Cooks remains committed to investing in modern equipment, advanced training, and proactive public safety initiatives that help protect the citizens of Thibodaux Ward Two and all who travel through our city.
