The annual BRPD awards banquet scheduled for tomorrow night was just cancelled, according to people who work there.
Also, there is allegedly "something big" coming tomorrow related to the department.
Let's Nostradamus this thing...I'll start.
Chief Paul is gone?

BATON ROUGE - Troy Lawrence Sr., a BRPD deputy chief whose police officer son was arrested last week after it was revealed he tased a handcuffed suspect, has been placed on administrative leave as the department faces a federal investigation over alleged police misconduct.
The WBRZ Investigative Unit learned Wednesday morning that Lawrence Sr. was put on leave as the department continues to investigate the actions of the Street Crimes unit. The unit was scuttled last month as the department started looking into claims of excessive force tied to Street Crimes' use of a makeshift interrogation site known as the "Brave Cave."
Multiple lawsuits allege that arrestees were physically abused and unlawfully strip-searched inside the crude facility, which appeared to be little more than an empty warehouse.
Troy Lawrence Sr. —who's been with the department more than 25 years — was previously commander of the Street Crimes unit, formerly known as the BRAVE unit.
Well, now we know where the BRAVE Cave term originated.

Project BRAVE has been designed to reduce and eliminate violent crime being committed by 190 juveniles in a small criminal "hot spot" in Baton Rouge, LA. The National Network of Safe Communities' Group Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS) model will be implemented under the auspices of the Mayor and District Attorney to target youth ages 14-17 in zip code 70805, which has a violent crime rate 25 times the national average.

Best beat down in the cave.

Brave Cave was double booked so they couldn’t have the banquet there and needed to cancel.

The annual awards for Officer of the year, Detective of the year, good job recognitions, etc. Lots of different things.

That's already been announced. So this arguably would be something beyond that.

Arrest in the Rice case.

There are some really great dudes that work for BRPD. It’s a shame that the shitheads at the top tarnish the reputation of the mostly outstanding men and women that work on the force.

The FBI investigation probably doesn’t help.

Agree with that. Yes there are some absolutely shitty officers, but there are also many good ones that just want to do their job but are handcuffed (no pun intended) by the administration.
I don’t miss that place one bit, but I do miss the camaraderie that I shared with some of them.
