Richmond Mourns the Passing of Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Deputy David Michel Jr. | 2016-06-23 | 2016 | 2016-06 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (JPSO) deputy David Michel Jr. was killed in the line of duty: “Unfortunately, our community has once again been shaken by the senseless death of a member of our law enforcement community,” said Rep. Richmond. “Deputy Michel and his wife, who also works at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, shared a commitment to serving the public. It takes tremendous courage to put on a uniform and go into harm’s way to protect the public every single day. Working to make the community a safer place takes dedication and compassion. Deputy Michel had these qualities in spades, and for that I will be eternally grateful. “He and his wife demonstrated the dignity of law enforcement, serving the people of Jefferson Parish admirably. His service will not be forgotten. “My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Michel family and the entire Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office as they go through this most difficult time.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
