Ouachita Parish Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Technology

The funds will be used to support the purchase of a miniCRD system and a fully outfitted patrol vehicle. The miniCRD system will allow OPSO to have crucial internet and cell service during natural disasters, emergency situations, in remote areas and will allow for dispatch to continue to be able to dispatch officers safely in these times. The patrol vehicle will be fully outfitted and safer for the deputies on the streets. This vehicle will replace older less reliable vehicles that are currently in our fleet. This vehicle will allow the deputies to patrol and answer calls in a much safer manner.
