It's been a few weeks since former St. Landry Parish Sheriff Captain Clay Higgins announced his bid for Congress in Louisiana. It's been months since he was working for St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Department...basically, I miss the Cajun John Wayne.

His Crime Stoppers videos were top shelf. He was a force for law enforcement in the state. Even though he only served one parish, he stood for something more than a man. But he's gone from that role now, and we have yet to fill our Clay-Higgins-sized hole. No one will ever replace him, but we could at least get something, right?

Anyway, without a Clay Higgins to lead us online, we can still follow the lead he set and keep the conversation rolling for law enforcement online.
