A Community Effort
These numbers represent more than just statistics—they reflect lives saved, justice served, and a community that refuses to tolerate crime. Every tip, no matter how small, contributes to this success. Together, we’ve built a safer Baton Rouge and surrounding areas for families, businesses, and future generations.
