The City Council met briefly this evening (Friday, May 23) to appoint Calder "Pop" Hebert substitute chief of police.
The title is substitute rather than interim because outgoing Chief Paula Smith has vacation and sick leave to see out.
A special meeting of the St. Martinville City Council has been called for 5 p.m. today (Friday, May 23) to name an interim police chief.
Chief of Police Paula Smith, a political lightning rod in recent years, is retiring effective Friday, May 23, said City Councilman Arthur Champ.
No word on a replacement yet.
