Last week, Detective Derrick Sowell assigned to the NPSO Criminal Investigations Division as a juvenile investigator attended the Louisiana Juvenile Officers Association conference in Opelousas.

The conference included training in juvenile investigations, juvenile services and legal aspects in juvenile matters.
Detective Sowell has been employed with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office for 8 years.

Sheriff Jones said we were pleased to send Detective Sowell to this training, not only do juvenile laws change frequently but the networking of agencies is also vital in today’s law enforcement.”
