Look for Knights of Nemesis parade location updates Saturday, Feb. 7 on the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page
A float passes in a Knights of Nemesis parade.
A sheriff’s deputy on board the department’s Mobile Emergency Operations Center which leads the parade will post regular location updates on the Facebook page after Nemesis starts in Chalmette at 1 p.m.
“We did this for the first time in the Knights of Nemesis parade last year and people seemed to like the updates of where the parade was,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.
“We hope spectators, especially children, find it to be fun and helpful to know when the parade will approach their location,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.
The department’s mobile command post, acquired through a federal grant, is a great vehicle and is perfect for leading a parade, the sheriff said.
It will coordinate the running of the parade as well as road closings as it moves along the route, he said.
The mobile center also leads the Irish, Italian, Islenos parade in Chalmette and location updates are also posted on the Facebook page for that.
