Following military service, Captain Whealton joined the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office where he served in corrections, narcotics, criminal patrol, detectives, and on the crisis response team (more commonly known as SWAT) before being tasked with developing a crime scene section and a digital forensics section that encompasses video, computer, and cellular forensics.

I’m Lieutenant Joseph Spadoni, Jr. of the St. James Parish Sheriff’s Office. I’ve proudly served the citizens of St. James Parish for the past 12 years, beginning in 2010.

I began my career assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division, where I spent six years. While a member of Uniform Patrol I was tasked with criminal patrol, traffic enforcement, and training recruits. For five of my six years in the division, I specialized in traffic as a member of the Motors Unit. Simultaneously, I served as a member of the Street Crimes Unit, focusing on violent crimes, weapons offenses, and narcotics. In 2013, while still a member of Uniform Patrol, I became a member of the Special Response Team, the first such element for my agency.

As my skills developed in the Patrol Division, I took a serious interest in narcotics enforcement and eradicating illegal narcotics from our streets. My interest and continued focus on narcotics as a patrolman led to me being promoted to Detective in our Narcotics Division.

At the time of my promotion, the Narcotics Division was in a transitional phase, with its previous members leaving the division as a result of promotion, retirement, or transfer. With the previous members no longer there, I was tasked with reforming the division from the ground level, which allowed me to develop my leadership style.

As a narcotics detective, I was chosen to serve our nation by the Drug Enforcement Administration as a Task Force Officer. Upon being chosen by the DEA, I attended DEA TFO Training in Quantico, Virginia. As a member of the DEA Task Force, I aided in major narcotics investigations that spanned North America.
In January of 2022, I was promoted to Lieutenant, tasked with leading the St. James Parish Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division.

While eradicating narcotics from our community is an incredible passion of mine, my primary driving force is my daughter, Gianna. I hope that my efforts lead to a better, safer place for her to grow and thrive.
