Bienville Parish Sheriff John Ballance and deputies will be hosting two “Cool Talk and Hot Coffee” events.  

The first one will be held tomorrow, March 30, at 6 p.m. at the First Baptist Church Gymnasium at 2249 North Hazel Street in Arcadia.  

Residents who cannot attend the first event have a second chance on Tuesday, April 4 at 6 p.m. at the Castor Community Center located at 111 Lodge Street.  

“We are inviting the public to attend either of these meetings to better inform the public of the duties of the sheriff and provide information on all aspects of law enforcement’s role in providing a safer Bienville Parish,” said Sheriff Ballance. “We will also have a question-and-answer session following the presentation.” 

The events will focus on building neighborhood comradeship and strengthening the relationship between local law enforcement and the community. Topics of discussion will include criminal investigations, understanding the patrol division, corrections, dispatch, narcotics, and juvenile/school resources.
