§1667.5. Parishes having no incorporated municipalities; extra compensation for deputy sheriffs
A. In order to promote the public peace and safety in parishes of the state having no incorporated municipalities, by providing better enforcement of law and particularly the enforcement of state laws by deputy sheriffs in such parishes, every deputy sheriff employed on a full time basis for law enforcement work by the sheriff of each of the parishes of Cameron, Plaquemine, St. Bernard, St. Charles and St. John the Baptist shall be paid by the state extra compensation in addition to the compensation paid him out of the sheriff's salary fund.
B. Out of the funds appropriated by the legislature for the payment of the extra compensation provided by Subsection A of this Section there shall be distributed to each of the parishes named therein, the sum of one dollar for each inhabitant within the parish as shown by the most recent federal census. The sums to be so distributed shall be disbursed upon warrants drawn by the sheriffs of the respective parishes and shall be paid into the sheriff's salary fund of the respective parishes. The sheriff of each parish shall expend such sums so paid into his sheriff's salary fund of the respective parishes. The sheriff of each parish shall expend such sums so paid into his sheriff's salary fund to deputy sheriffs employed by him on a full-time basis for law enforcement work, the amount to be paid to each deputy to be within the discretion of the sheriff and to be based upon the length of service of the deputy insofar as is practicable.
