The Transportation & Environmental Safety Section within the Louisiana State Police is comprised of four specialized units. These units are staffed by both commissioned and civilian personnel. There are two advisory groups which support the efforts of TESS: the Louisiana Emergency Response Commission and the Louisiana State Police Explosive Advisory Council. Each unit within TESS conducts enforcement activities which are supported by either administrative or criminal provisions within each set of regulations.

The hazardous materials HOT LINE 1-877-925-6595 is staffed by the Right-to-Know Unit and is the reporting point to the LSP for a chemical spill or emergency. Any transporter, manufacturer, storage facility, or anyone involving the handling of any regulated hazardous material must contact the LSP immediately to report any spillage or threat to public safety.
