For Immediate Release

Sheriff Gerald A. Turlich, Jr. announces the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office (PPSO) will be participating in the 2019 National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday, October 15, 2019.

Sheriff Turlich along with members of PPSO will be traveling throughout the parish to celebrate the community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
