Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office (Louisiana)

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office is the principal law-enforcement agency of Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. It is headed by an elected sheriff, now Daniel Edwards. The office is headquartered in Hammond, Louisiana.[1]

The office maintains:

  • a uniformed patrol unit
  • a SWAT unit, called the "Special Response Team."
  • a police-dog unit
  • a mounted unit
  • a system of reserve deputies
  • the parish's jail[2]

Cooperation with other agencies

The Office was excluded from a DEA task force in 2016 after the Justice Department charged two deputies with stealing money and drugs seized in raids.[3]
