Mike Edmonson Biography

Mike Edmonson is one of the most popular and richest Police Officer who was born on September 19, 1958 in Alexandria, Louisiana, United States. Michael David Edmonson, born September 19, 1958, is the former superintendent for the Louisiana State Police. He served from January 2008 to March 24, 2017. He is currently the longest-serving of all the Louisiana state police chiefs. Bobby Jindal appointed Edmonson. After a dispute over troopers’ expense accounts, Jindal’s successor John Bel Edwards accepted Edmonson’s resignation.

C. B. Forgotston (a Hammond lawyer) claimed that the “Edmonson Act”, also known as Act 859, would have applied “hundreds and thousands” to all state government retirees and increased taxpayer liability by “millions and millions of dollars” in accrued expense. Forgotston claimed that Riser (a defeated candidate in Louisiana’s 5th congressional District in the 2013 special elections) flatly lied about him in first denying authorship of the amend: “Riser now says, ‘Yeh, it was me He should apologize to the public. He should have apologized for his actions to the five conference committee members. He did not apologize to them. His staff member is certain to be forgiven for throwing her under the bus.

Before the court hearing, the retirement system board had already denied the future extra benefits to Edmonson and Boquet. Democratic former Governor Edwin Edwards, another unsuccessful candidate in the 6th congressional district in 2014, sided with Republican opponent Claitor in voicing his own objections to the “Edmonson Act”. Although Edmonson claimed on several occasions that he would not accept the additional funds at retirement, had the amendment been left intact it would have remained state law. Treasurer Kennedy testified before the court that “special interest legislation” of this kind could cause trouble with bond-rating agencies regarding the solvency of the state’s four retirement systems, which have an unfunded accrued liability of some $19 billion.

Jindal was compelled to advocate repeal of the “Edmonson Act” which he had earlier signed into law. Like Riser, Jindal said he was unaware that the legislation applied only to two persons and urged legislators to rewrite the measure. On September 16, 2014, Forgotston and Kennedy were vindicated when Janice Clark, judge of the 19th Judicial District in Baton Rouge, declared the “Edmonson Act” unconstitutional. The suit challenging the law was brought forward by State Senator Dan Claitor, an unsuccessful Republican candidate for Louisiana’s 6th congressional district seat in the November 4, 2014 primary election. The Louisiana State Police Retirement System Board offered no rebuttal, and the provision of the law impacting Edmonson and Boquet was quickly struck down by the judge.

Colonel Edmonson, the police superintendent at the highest rank within the organization, was also deputy secretary of Department of Public Safety. This agency has more than 2900 employees and a budget of almost $500 million. Edmonson was elected chairman of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in September 2012. He is still an officer.
