Do you think you have what it takes to be a Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement officer? If so, now’s your chance to join the force! Stephen Clark, the superintendent of the enforcement division of LDWF, says applications are now being accepted for the department’s 38th enforcement academy.
Cut 3 (06) “…through December 22nd.”
Clark says when the application window closes, they will choose the best applicants to take part in the academy.
What’s different about this one is that this is a hybrid academy, meaning it will be open to both POST-certified police officers and non-POST-certified officers. Clark says POST-certified officers chosen will have a slightly accelerated academy.

LSU is about to lead a building revolution, moving one step closer to launching the School of Construction within its College of Engineering. The Board of Supervisors approved its creation last week, advancing the proposal to the Louisiana Board of Regents for a vote sometime next year. College of Engineering Dean Vicki Colvin says the school would build on the current construction management program, and the number of students in that program is astounding.
Cut 6 (07) “…two-thousand students.”
Colvin says the construction management started in the 1970s, and the earliest graduates are paying it forward in creating the new School of Construction.
Cut 7 (11) “…possible for us.”
Donors have already given 42-million dollars for the facility, which the state has matched. Colvin says construction is a very vital part of the U.S. economy.
Cut 8 (11) “…transforming this industry.”

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office says a neighbor fatally shot a man attacking his girlfriend with a knife. Lieutenant Suzanne (soo-ZAHN) Carboni says the victim escaped her Mandeville area home through a window and frantically knocked on neighbors’ doors seeking help. She says one of the neighbors went outside to assist.
Carboni says the neighbor told the boyfriend to stop attacking the girl and when he refused to do so, the neighbor shot the attacker.
Carboni says no charges have been filed at this time, but the investigation continues.
