Grant Parish Sheriff Change

COLFAX, LA. – At the end of the month, sheriff’s departments across Cenla will have new faces around the office. In Grant Parish incumbent Stephen McCain is getting ready to take things over from Baxter Welch. News Channel Five’s Nolan Crane shows us the accomplishments that have been made during the past four years.

Although Baxter Welch lost his re-election bid he says he is very proud of the progress the Grant Parish sheriff’s office made. Stephen McCain says he is ready to do what the residents of grant parish put him in office to do.

Over the past four years Baxter Welch has sat in this seat–in this office, that displays his name as the Grant Parish Sheriff. He says he is happy with the job he did.

“We will leave the department roughly a million dollars more in cash reserves then we had, we’ve been able to put a car per each line officer, and computers in every car,” says Baxter Welch.

But he says a lot of the credit belongs to the men and women he’s worked with everyday these last 4 years.
