Baton Rouge, La. — September 24, 2021 — Throughout his tenure as the Chief of Police, Chief Murphy Paul has served as an example of what it truly means to be a public servant. 

His dedication has not gone without recognition — the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) announced Chief Paul’s appointment to the At-Large #1 position through 2024. Chief Paul will play an instrumental role in advocating and advancing the policing profession. 

I would like to formally congratulate Chief Paul for his appointment; I know our officers, our police department, and our entire community here in East Baton Rouge Parish are proud of the work he has done within Baton Rouge, and the progress he will bring to police departments across the nation.
