Our district covers eight Louisiana parishes from the Arkansas state line in northeast Louisiana thru to central Louisiana.
We are a special state law enforcement agency responsible for general law enforcement within a state levee district which is defined by law and includes all of the land and water area within the parishes named. State Levee District Police Officers are by statute commissioned as state peace officers by the Louisiana State Police with statewide police powers of arrest. They provide criminal patrol and investigation for all state crimes and certain federal crimes. They accomplish this task by vehicle patrol, boat patrol, all-terrain vehicles and aircraft surveillance. They are responsible for the detection, investigation and apprehension of criminals by overt(uniform) or covert(undercover/plainclothes)means. Police officers usually work independently covering a large geographical area to accomplish this mission. Another very important aspect of their mission is homeland security. They provide protection to the Federal levees and structures which provide protection to the citizens of Louisiana. It is estimated that over two-thirds of Louisiana residents are protected by levees including cities and vital infrastructures such as highways.
From a lonely bayou in north Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico, Levee District Police are doing all that they can do to stem the flood of crime in their areas.
