St. John Parish Sheriff's Office

What St. John Parish Sheriff's Office does

St. John Parish Sheriff's Office (SJSO) is a constitutionally elected law enforcement agency serving St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. Operating under the authority of Louisiana state law, the office is responsible for enforcing state laws within the parish, maintaining the Sherman Walker Correctional Facility (St. John Parish Correctional Facility), collecting property taxes, conducting sheriff's sales, and providing a full range of public safety services including patrol, investigations, SWAT operations, emergency response, and community programs. Sheriff Mike Tregre, a 38-year law enforcement veteran now in his fourth term, has led the agency since July 1, 2012.

The agency's service portfolio combines traditional law enforcement with a modern digital citizen interface. The SJSO Mobile App (iOS and Android) consolidates crime mapping, inmate lookup, warrant searches, and tip submission (via written, audio, photo, or video) with push notifications. Supporting digital services include online traffic fine payment, online accident report filing ($16 per report), property tax payment, and sheriff's sale auctions. The agency operates a crime camera network across the parish, multiple weather stations integrated with Weather Underground, and dedicated training facilities including the Lloyd B. Johnson Training Center and the Captain Octavio Gonzales Shoot House Complex, both available for reservation by external agencies.

SJSO is funded primarily through local tax revenue, with supplementary transactional revenue from traffic fines ($25–$619.50 base, plus $165 contempt of court fees), accident report fees, sheriff's sale commissions, property tax collection (1% monthly interest on delinquent taxes), and training class fees ($10 for R.A.D. self-defense courses). The agency markets through its official website, Facebook, X (Twitter), and community events including Night Out On Crime, Citizens Academy, and the Punt Pass Kick Competition. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or private investments apply; SJSO is a public entity with no parent company or outside ownership.
