Bill > HB511

This bill establishes the "Law Enforcement Pursuit Safety and Technology Grant Program" within the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Criminal Justice (referred to as the "commission") to provide funding to state, parish, and municipal law enforcement agencies for acquiring and training on technologies and devices that can safely end high-speed vehicle pursuits, such as GPS tracking projectiles, vehicle-stopping nets, or remote tire deflation devices. The commission will administer this program, which aims to integrate pursuit safety into the state's Strategic Highway Safety Plan, and is authorized to accept various funds, including federal grants like the Highway Safety Improvement Program and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, to support these efforts, prioritizing agencies that have incorporated these technologies into their policies and emphasize officer safety by reducing manual risks.
