Police Reform In Louisiana: Our Stance

The 2021 Louisiana Legislative Session is just around the corner, with the new legislative Session the LAFOP will as always be at the forefront of representing law enforcement rank and file in Louisiana.

The HUGE topic for law enforcement this session will be Police Reform. We were the only rank-and-file law enforcement organization representing the front line law enforcement officer during the Police Training, Screening, and De-escalation Task Force.

The Louisiana Fraternal Order of Police has created a web link specifically for police reform in Louisiana and our stance on specific issues relating to police reform. It can be found at policereformlouisiana.com.

Many departments are doing the right thing, with good policies on screening, training, and supervision. Remember, police administrators are responsible for hiring, discipline, and training of these officers. We are responsible for defending the rights of these officers when they are under investigation.

As the Legislative Session approaches, we will update the membership on law enforcement Legislative issues in Baton Rouge and distribute our Legislative guide before the session begins.

Be involved...remember grassroots advocacy begins with you!!!
