American Legion Post 349 Announces Deputy of the Year - Sgt. Lesley Hill
Sheriff Craig Webre is pleased to announce Sergeant Chantel Chouest was the recipient of American Legion Post 349’s Deputy of the Year award at recent ceremonies at their Raceland headquarters. The Post held ceremonies to install new officers and presented the award during that ceremony on Monday, July 19th.
The American Legion asks the Commander and Deputy Commander of the Patrol Division to nominate a candidate for the award. In choosing Sergeant Chouest, Captain Scott Silverii praised the officer for her dedication to the agency and willingness to go above and beyond to serve the citizens of Lafourche Parish. When Captain Silverii announced a new initiative targeting repeat DWI offenders, then-deputy Chouest stepped up to volunteer to spearhead the DWI STOP initiative. She guided it to the success it is today.
Not long after, Chouest was promoted to Sergeant of A shift as a result of her hard work and attention to detail. Chouest is praised by her supervisors for her self-initiated activities and is in the top five of deputies in the number of DWI arrests. “We appreciate the American Legion’s recognition of a job well done,” said Sheriff Webre. “Sgt. Chouest is a shining example of the professionalism throughout the ranks of the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office,” he added.
