St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Deputy Tre' Bowie, left, recently received a $5,000 check from Sheriff-elect Gary Driskell. The money comes through a state law authorizing an incentive for new law enforcement officers who meet certain criteria, according to Lt. Col. John Kahl. Bowie, an Air Force veteran, joined the Sheriff's Office in July. He completed his field training and is now part of the Uniform Patrol Division, awaiting entry into the St. Mary Paris Regional Training Academy in the spring.
