Involvement with State and National Sheriff’s Associations

Sheriff Webre is an active member of the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association (LSA) and has also served as a Board Member of the Louisiana Sheriff's Pension and Relief Fund. He has served on numerous committees, testified before the legislature and participated as a liaison between the Louisiana and National Sheriffs' Associations. 

Sheriff Webre is a strong supporter of the technological advancements that are required by modern day law enforcement officers. To that end, he has served on LSA's Technical Advisory Committee and ARMMS Sub-Committee, offering the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office (LPSO) to be used as a beta test site for both the LUCR/LIBRS and ARMMS projects. 

Additional committee work provided him an opportunity to offer his assistance in the fields of Tax Law, Pretrial Intervention and Legislative Committees.  Over the years, he has proven that his education and position as an attorney provides the perfect combination for lobbying on behalf of LSA before the legislature.  Recently, efforts to have Louisiana Constitutional Amendment 6 put before voters proved a huge success as its passage now guarantees supplemental pay for uniformed officers.

Sheriff Webre has also served on the LSA's Sex Offender Registry Committee. Knowledge gained from this committee assisted Sheriff Webre in preparing and instituting the LPSO's Sex Offender Accountability Program (S.O.A.P.). This program is designed to ensure that offenders comply with sex offender registry laws through a system of ongoing compliance checks during which an extensive database of information is compiled and offered to local citizens as a form of educational awareness.  This program was presented at the 2005 LSA conference. 

Additionally, he is a member of the LSA's Honorary Membership Program which provides yearly scholarships and services to the youth of Lafourche Parish.  He also strives to assist the LSA's Violent Crime and Narcotics Task Force and Education Project, as well as the LSA's Emergency Task Force by deploying officers to assist with specific state operations.

As an active member of the National Sheriffs' Association, Sheriff Webre was elected to the position of Sergeant At Arms in 2001.  Since that time, he has represented the NSA on numerous panels and boards to include:

	US Attorney's LECC National Conference -
		Issues on the Horizon for Law Enforcement, Virginia
	The Council for Excellence in Government
		Homeland Security from the Citizen's Perspective, Washington
	MADD Law Enforcement Leadership Summit
		Lessons Learned from Law Enforcement, Florida
	14th Annual International Problem-Oriented Policing Conference, California
	NSA's Counterterrorism Conference/Briefing, Israel
	Pegasus Advisory Board, Arkansas

Sheriff Webre also serves on the Aviation/Maritime/Special Operations, Crime Prevention/Private Security and Domestic Violence Committees.  At the recent 2005 Conference, Sheriff Webre received the Crime Victim Services Award for his proactive stance taken in the field of Domestic Violence. 

Additionally, Sheriff Webre, in his capacity as an attorney and in conjunction with the NSA, was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.
