Louisiana State Police

Louisiana State Police serves as a law enforcement and public safety agency operating through its Department of Grants division to secure and administer federal funding. As a state government entity registered in SAM.gov since October 2003, Louisiana State Police leverages federal contracts and grants to enhance its operational capacity across multiple mission areas including drug interdiction, criminal investigation, hazardous materials preparedness, and traffic safety enforcement.

Through federal contract awards, Louisiana State Police has primarily engaged in task force overtime reimbursement services. The entity received multiple definitive contracts from the Food and Drug Administration totaling $10,000 per award, with the most recent contract awarded on June 23, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 22, 2026. These contracts compensate Louisiana State Police for overtime costs incurred by officers participating in federal task force operations focused on drug interdiction, criminal activity detection, and public safety initiatives. The contract structure utilizes labor hours pricing, indicating direct reimbursement for personnel services. These awards reflect an ongoing partnership between Louisiana State Police and federal law enforcement initiatives, demonstrating the agency's role as a collaborative partner in federal enforcement operations with no set-aside designations applied.

Louisiana State Police has secured substantial federal grant funding across multiple high-priority law enforcement and public safety programs. The agency has been awarded formula grants under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, including awards dated October 1, 2024, October 1, 2023, and October 1, 2022, to reduce commercial motor vehicle crashes and improve driver safety through inspections, investigations, and enforcement activities. Project grants from FMCSA have supported specialized initiatives including a $1,000,000 Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities grant for commercial motor vehicle enforcement in high-crash corridors (September 2024) and a $1,000,000 human trafficking prevention grant in commercial vehicles (September 2023). Hazardous materials preparedness has been funded through the Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants program, with a $668,897.50 award dated October 1, 2025, and earlier project grants from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Law enforcement capability building has been supported through Bureau of Justice Assistance grants including de-escalation and less-lethal weapons training initiatives, a National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative grant for DNA collection and CODIS database operations, and an Anti-Heroin Task Force grant. Port security enhancements have been funded through FEMA's Port Security Grant Program with awards totaling $587,682.00 (September 2025) and earlier project grants. Additionally, Louisiana State Police has received support for sex offender registration and notification implementation through the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing Monitoring Apprehending Registering and Tracking program. Sub-grant awards demonstrate the agency's role as a pass-through entity, distributing federal funds to local partners including the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice, Sheriff-Jefferson Parish, the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, and the Department of Public Safety for crime detection, drug trafficking enforcement, DNA forensics equipment, traffic safety enforcement, and training initiatives.
