Funeral Held for Lafayette Officer Segus Jolivette

Senior Corporal Segus Jolivette, a Lafayette police officer, was recently honored following his tragic death in the line of duty during a SWAT operation. A public funeral service was held on August 1, 2024, at Our Savior's Church in Opelousas, attended by law enforcement personnel and community members. The service was marked by a large procession back to Lafayette, where flags flew at half-mast and vehicles lined the streets to pay their respects. Jolivette's family and friends emphasized his dedication to service and the strong bonds he shared with fellow officers, notably with Corporal Michael Middlebrook, who passed away seven years prior. The Lafayette Police Department has reactivated the Fallen Heroes Fund to support Jolivette's family during this difficult time. His burial was a private ceremony, reserved for immediate family and close friends.
