New pursuit safety grants for Louisiana police

Louisiana creates a grant program for state, parish, and city police to buy tools and training for safer high-speed pursuits. Tools include GPS tracking projectiles, vehicle-stopping nets or tethers, and remotely controlled tire-deflation devices. Agencies get priority when their force and pursuit policies fully include these tools and reduce risks from manual deployment. The state law enforcement commission must issue uniform program rules and links the program to Louisiana's highway safety plan. It can accept federal grants, donations, and other funding. A new dedicated treasury fund supports equipment grants, safe-use training grants, and program administration through legislative appropriations. Administrative costs cannot exceed 5% of the fund's annual balance. Deposits follow constitutionally required allocations to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund. Money is invested like state general fund money; interest and unused, uncommitted year-end balances stay in the fund. The law states no specific funding amount.
