This bill enacts a new provision in Louisiana law regarding the office of chief of police for the town of Fordoche. It establishes that the chief of police will be appointed by the mayor, with the approval of a majority of the board of aldermen, rather than being elected by the public. The bill specifies that no appointments can be made until the end of the term of the currently elected chief of police, unless the position is vacant or temporarily filled. The term of the chief of police will align with that of the mayor and aldermen.

Additionally, the board of aldermen, upon the mayor's recommendation, will determine the salary and establish the duties, qualifications, and responsibilities of the chief of police. The chief will report directly to the mayor, thereby creating a more centralized command structure within the town's law enforcement. This change aims to streamline the governance of the police department in Fordoche.
