Mobile Emergency Operations Center will again lead the parade Sunday and a deputy on board will post updates on the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page

The Sheriff’s Office mobile command, which led the Knights of Nemesis pade in February and will lead the Irish, italian, Islenos parade this Sunday.

When the Irish, Italian and Islenos parade takes off in Chalmette at noon Sunday, the Sheriff’s Office Mobile Emergency Operations Center will lead it while a deputy on board posts parade updates on the department’s Facebook page.

“We did this for the first time in the Knights of Nemesis parade in February and people seemed to like the updates of where the parade was,’’ Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

“We hope people, especially children, find it to be fun and helpful to know when a parade will approach their location,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.

The department’s new 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.
