Jean Lafitte, La Historic fishing town, named for the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. Jean Lafitte is located in the heart of the Barataria Basin.

Come explore the heart of the Barataria Basin, where the dark bayou waters hide silent alligators alongside the secrets of notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. Remnants of the past are still present in this historic fishing village and the trails and waterways traversing the area. Only a short distance from the big city of New Orleans, Jean Lafitte and its bayou culture feels like a world apart. Spend the day here, touring the mysterious swamps, eating some of Louisiana’s best seafood and learning about the people and their unique way of life.

Town residents, State Representative Tim Kerner Sr., Captain Kevin Decker, Constable Brennan Rojas, and Constable Jonathan Liberto were also in attendance to show their support and welcome our new chief.

Mayor Yvette Crain and the Town Council extend congratulations and a warm welcome to Chief Kreger! We look forward to his leadership and service to our community.

Please join us in welcoming Jean Lafitte’s new Chief of Police, Joseph “Joey” Kreger Jr.!

Chief Kreger brings more than 30 years of service with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. His career has spanned corrections, patrol, and leadership roles, including lieutenant and Commander of the Public Assignment Office. In that role, he oversaw four divisions, managed personnel and budgets, and coordinated daily security details involving approximately 250 deputies.

His hands-on law enforcement experience, leadership, and longstanding relationships with JPSO will help him lead our department and strengthen the partnership that serves our community.

To guide this important selection, the Town assembled a committee that included JPSO Chief Deputy John Fitzpatrick; Kerry Najolia, former JPSO training director and SWAT commander; Constable Brennan Rojas, whose decades of law enforcement experience and deep roots in our bayou community bring valuable insight into our residents’ needs; and Harry Cahill, a highly respected municipal attorney with decades of experience serving as legal counsel to Jean Lafitte and Grand Isle.

After reviewing and interviewing candidates, the committee made its recommendation. Mayor Yvette Crain evaluated that recommendation and selected Kreger, whose appointment was reviewed and approved by the Town Council.

Keeping our families safe is one of the Town’s greatest responsibilities. We are confident in Chief Kreger’s ability to meet that responsibility and look forward to supporting him and our officers as they serve the people of Jean Lafitte.

Congratulations and welcome, Chief Kreger!
