SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - A woman who used to be a deputy with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office was killed in a wreck involving a train in Shreveport Monday, Nov. 20. Former deputy, Natalie Brown-Denby, 32, began her career with the sheriff’s office back in 2013 under the administration of retired sheriff, Victor Jones. She resigned in 2019 to start a career working with juveniles at the Caddo Juvenile Probation office in Shreveport. She graduated from the 37th Caddo Regional Police Academy in 2015. During her time with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office, she worked in communications, patrol, community services, and youth service divisions. Brown-Denby is survived by her mother, Jackie Brown-Denby, a former detective with the sheriff’s office, and her 5-year-old daughter, as well as other extended family. Former coworkers say Brown-Denby was always willing to help, was dependable, always needed her morning coffee, and had an eagerness to learn.
