| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP B- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: December 22, 2010 Children’s Christmas Smiles across the Louisiana State Police Troop B Area Troop B – The holiday season is a time to express gratitude to the people in our community. Every year Louisiana State Police Troop B experiences a tremendous amount of support from the six parishes it encompasses. This time of year allows us to give back to our community and provide “Christmas Smiles” to children and families that have experienced difficult hardships. This year troopers visited the Tulane Pediatrics School of Medicine and Santa Clause provided the children with gifts. Santa arrived at the Christmas party in style with a motorcycle police escort. Santa and his elves also visited Children’s Hospital and Tulane Hospital. Troop B was able to give 125 turkey dinners to families within our area and also sponsored four families for Christmas. Donations were given to Catholic Charities and the Louisiana State Troopers Association (LSTA) by Troop B Troopers, Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations, LSTA Grant-A-Wish Foundation, Dorignac’s Food Center, Wal-Mart, URS Corporation New Orleans Office, Joe Johnson Foundation, M&M Gaming and Iberville Suites Hotel. Troop B would like to thank all of our sponsors and donators because they made all of this possible. “Christmas is about giving and Troop B is very fortunate to be located in such a supportive community. We appreciate each and every citizen in Louisiana and we will continue to provide public safety and education to them,” stated Captain Carl Saizan, Commander of Troop B. “We want to wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season.” For more information contact: Trooper Melissa Matey Public Affairs Unit Louisiana State Police – Troop B Office: (504) 471-2780 Melissa.matey@dps.la.gov www.LSP.org | |||
