Chief Randy Dufrene

Almost 25 years ago, Randy Dufrene started his career as a police officer for the Town of Livingston, first, as a reserve officer and then, in January of 1986, as a full time police officer.   After honing his skills as a police officer for 20 years, the voters of Livingston elected Randy as their Chief of Police in 2004.

In that capacity, Chief Dufrene attended and graduated from Louisiana Law Enforcement Executive Management Institute for Chiefs, becoming the first Town of Livingston Chief of Police to do so.  In order to provide the residents of Livingston with the best possible law enforcement techniques, Chief Dufrene has continued to attend classes and seminars, including graduating from the Louisiana Post Academy.

Because of his commitment to the protection of his community and the residents of Livingston, Chief Dufrene started the first K-9 division for the Police Department with Officer Dugo, a Dutch Sheppard that is trained in drug detection, criminal apprehension, obedience and tracking. 

Proving his value to the Town of Livingston, Officer Dugo has been involved in numerous arrests, including the confiscation of illegal drugs; thereby, pulling countless pounds of illicit drugs off the streets.  In addition to street use, Officer Dugo is also utilized to improve the security of Livingston’s schools by providing safety surveillance when called upon by school officials.

Because of the diligence and dedication of Chief Dufrene, the modern Livingston Police Department is a unit of four (4) full time and four (4) part time police professionals utilizing the latest police techniques and equipment in order to make Livingston a safer and better place to live and raise a family.
