The department, headed by Sheriff Mark T. Garber, consists of around 750 sworn and non-sworn employees. Although the LPSO's [[jurisdiction]] consists of the entire parish of Lafayette, in order to not duplicate services provided by local city police, the primary patrol area is the unincorporated areas of the parish. It also runs the [[Lafayette Parish Correctional Center]]. The LPSO is CALEA ([[Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies]]) accredited and has taken part in [[Operation FALCON]].{{citation needed|date=October 2022}} In 2003, the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office joined with the [[University of Louisiana at Lafayette|University of Louisiana]] to create ALETA, the Acadiana Law Enforcement Training Academy. This academy trains new LPSO deputies and UL Police officers, as well as recruits from several other police agencies in South Louisiana, to become P.O.S.T. certified law enforcement officers. The program is an eleven-week course that provides physical training and conditioning along with classroom instruction.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}} Lafayette Parish is further served by the [[Lafayette Police Department (Louisiana)|Lafayette Police Department]], [[University of Louisiana at Lafayette Police Department]], and the [[Lafayette City Marshal (Louisiana)|Lafayette City Marshal]].
