Dear Mr. Rodrique:
In response to your request for an opinion regarding the question of a law enforcement officer serving as an election commissioner, enclosed please find several opinions from our office which have addressed your question. (Atty. Gen. Op. Nos. 78-953, 79-1016, 90-601, 93-656). Specifically, all of our past opinions have concluded that R.S. 18:428(A) prohibits a law enforcement  officer from serving as a commissioner-in-charge, commissioner,  alternate commissioner or watcher.
