Summary
After just 11 months on the job, Louisiana State Police Superintendent Colonel Robert Hodges is retiring this fall — ending a 31-year career that took him from a New Orleans patrol trooper to the top of the force. A Brother Martin High School and LSU graduate, Hodges rose through the ranks, serving in key leadership roles before becoming superintendent in January. His departure, long rumored since May, signals a major leadership transition for the agency as it prepares for a new era. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
