Deputy Laney Wright began his law enforcement career at the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office in 2000. He initially worked in a part-time capacity as a reserve deputy working patrol and as a court bailiff. In February 2013 Deputy Wright was hired full-time as a deputy sheriff assigned to the NPSO Corrections Division. Deputy Wright loved his community and his willingness to help others led him to join Natchitoches Parish Fire Protection District #1 as a volunteer fireman.
