ThinBlueNews remembers Senior Corporal Segus R. Jolivette of the Lafayette Police Department in Louisiana on the second anniversary of his End of Watch, Thursday, July 25, 2024.
The Officer Down Memorial Page records that Senior Corporal Jolivette died in the line of duty while assisting at a hostage barricade in Jeanerette. This anniversary remembrance leaves out graphic detail and focuses on his service, sacrifice and continuing legacy.
A career of service in Acadiana
ODMP lists Jolivette as 35 years old, badge 13854 and a 15-year law-enforcement veteran. Its memorial says he served 11 years with the Lafayette Police Department after serving with the Opelousas Police Department. It also records his work with Lafayette Police's SWAT negotiator team and Explorer program.
The Lafayette Police Department Page of Honor confirms his July 25, 2024 line-of-duty death and describes a career that began with Opelousas Police in 2010. The department says his Lafayette service included patrol, detective work, the SWAT Negotiator Team, Explorer Program, School Resource Officer duties and Honor Guard membership. It also notes that he received multiple commendation letters and other recognition.
ODMP records that Senior Corporal Jolivette was survived by his wife and five children. The Lafayette Police memorial also honors the family members who carry his loss. ThinBlueNews includes only these public family facts and does not intrude further into their privacy.

This is an anniversary remembrance, offered with respect for Senior Corporal Jolivette's family, friends, fellow officers, the Lafayette and Opelousas police departments and the Louisiana communities he served.
