## Resource

Baton Rouge is getting a major boost in law enforcement firepower after the Mall of Louisiana shooting, as Louisiana State Police team up with the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office to deputize select Troop NOLA officers as federal agents—giving them new tools to tackle crime across the state. Governor Jeff Landry sees this as a scalable model, starting in New Orleans and expanding to cities like Baton Rouge. Federal prosecutors will decide which cases to take, prioritizing speed, severity, and sentencing potential, while federal involvement also helps clear local courts and brings in extra resources. Meanwhile, Baton Rouge is set to receive over $1 million from Homeland Security to upgrade its police headquarters, which will soon house a dedicated task force targeting gangs in the city.
