Yesterday afternoon, the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government and Houma Police Department officially celebrated the opening of the Chester Nixon, Sr. Public Safety Complex.
“I’d like to tell you what an honor it is to look out and see everyone here to pay tribute to a gentleman who has left a legacy within our community, and support this new safety complex,” said Houma Police Chief Travis Theriot. “I can’t tell you how long the creation of this substation has been needed in this area. I can’t thank everyone enough for making this happen. This is just another step towards making out police department whole again after Hurricane Ida.”
“I’m requesting that this police substation be a place of refuge, a place of comfort, a place of safety for these people in this community,” said Councilman Brien Pledger. “Let it reflect who we are here in Terrebonne Parish.”
