Sheriff Eddie Langlinais announces purchase of property for future VPSO Law Enforcement Complex

Vermilion Parish Sheriff Eddie Langlinais is pleased to announce that, through funds appropriated to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office during the 2025 Louisiana Legislative Session, the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office has purchased property that will become the future home of the VPSO Law Enforcement Complex.
The acquisition of the property marks the first major step in a long-term vision to bring all divisions of the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office together under one centralized location. The future complex is intended to improve operational efficiency, strengthen communication between divisions, and better serve the residents of Vermilion Parish for generations to come.
The future home of the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s office is located adjacent to the new Office of Emergency Preparedness building currently under construction near the Chris Crusta Memorial Airport in Abbeville. Langlinais said having the two agencies located side by side will serve as a major asset for Vermilion Parish and will help strengthen coordination and emergency response efforts during hurricanes, severe weather events, and other emergencies impacting the parish.
“This future law enforcement complex,” Sheriff Eddie Langlinais said, “represents our commitment to providing the highest level of service, improving coordination between divisions, and ensuring that we are prepared to meet the needs of our community for many years to come.”
Sheriff Langlinais added that he is grateful to the members of the Louisiana Legislature and local leaders who supported the appropriations request and made this property purchase possible.
