December 23, 2020 GMT
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) The constable’s office in Louisiana’s capital is getting new bulletproof vests for its deputies.
The Baton Rouge Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Foundation announced Monday that its first project would be to outfit the city’s constable’s office in vests, which all 46 officers will get in the coming weeks, The Advocate reported.
The foundation was created in October, partly in response to a spike in Baton Rouge’s homicide rate. It accepts donations, then uses the funds to support local law enforcement agencies and anti-violence initiatives.
