Houma Police Chief Dana Coleman fondly recalls Bush’s goal to serve the public when he interviewed for the job.
Coleman says Bush was just weeks away from completing the cadet academy and was driving to his post at the Houma Civic Center which is a distribution site for Hurricane Ida supplies. Coleman says the recent weeks have been challenging since the hurricane and the death of a young officer is even more difficult.
Coleman says Bush had a bright future with the department and the young cadet told him since he was a child, he always knew he wanted to be a police officer.
State Police are investigating the crash.

Louisiana State Treasurer John Schroder says he’s extremely with FEMA and their lengthy delay in reimbursement for school construction in Calcasieu Parish due to hurricanes Laura and Delta. Schroder says the delay has forced the state bond commission to approve an emergency request for $50-million to help the school system resume construction.
Schroder says FEMA has only remitted $116 thousand of the Calcasieu Parish School Board’s nearly $300-million in reimbursement requests.
The school board has already used $40 million in insurance proceeds,$20 million in School Board General Fund money, and $100 million in bond proceeds to begin initial repair work. Schroder says of the state bond money if the school board doesn’t receive funds from FEMA …
Schroder says a reimbursement request means the money has already been spent and the school system is having to pay for construction and in the meantime, students are trying to learn in classrooms with leaky roofs. He says after a year two hurricanes it’s time for FEMA to send funds.
Schroder says he’s hopeful the state’s congressional delegation can successfully convince FEMA to accelerate recovery from the 2020 hurricanes.
