Fleet Operations The Louisiana State Police Fleet Operations manages a fleet of over 2,400 vehicles for Public Safety Services. Its personnel order new vehicles, install additional equipment, and issue the vehicles. The equipment in a new police car includes a 700 MHz radio, radar, in-car video camera, protective cage and all emergency lighting. To keep the cars running, Fleet Operations personnel perform repairs and routine maintenance. The Headquarters Fleet Garage in Baton Rouge is the main facility charged with performing most major repairs, including body work following a crash. Nine satellite garages throughout the state handle routine maintenance and repairs. Fleet Operations personnel negotiate contracts and make purchases to keep the Headquarters Fleet Parts Room, as well as the nine satellite garages, properly stocked. An adequate supply of tires, fan belts, light bulbs and batteries is a staple in any garage. A more extensive inventory is critical to keep a large fleet operating around the clock 365 days per year. Police Supply The Police Supply Unit provides equipment to approximately 1,300 state troopers and Department of Public Safety police officers. Everything from the unique boot-shaped badge that represents the Louisiana State Police to the weapons that the officers use to defend themselves is issued by this unit. Maintaining the necessary supplies for so many officers is a never-ending task. Uniforms, hats, jackets, raincoats, ballistic vests, and reflective vests are just a few of the items that must be available for distribution. Prior to placing an order, Police Supply personnel evaluate new equipment and write specifications for each item. This unit serves as the department's liaison with vendors and must stay abreast of the latest innovations in everything from uniform material to weapons. The armory and its security rests within this unit’s responsibilities. The department issues the Sig Sauer .45 caliber pistol and the Remington 870 shotgun to each officer. A supply of specialized weapons, such as rifles, must also be maintained. The Police Supply Unit is also responsible for the department's property control and accountability program. Each officer's career begins here with the issuance of equipment, and ends here with the return of equipment upon his completion of service with the Louisiana State Police. Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information P.O. Box 66614, #A-6 Baton Rouge, LA 70896-6614 225-925-6095 Forms Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information manages and oversees the Automated Fingerprint Identification System. AFIS is a statewide, automated fingerprint identification system, which is integrated with mug shot and computerized criminal history (CCH) information. The goal of this system is to provide real time identification of individuals at the time of booking, resulting in timely updates to the state's CCH, mug shot and fingerprint databases. All of this is accomplished in a paperless environment. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information provides operational management and technical assistance to the users of the system in addition to ensuring system operational compliance and quality control. The AFIS system consists of over 100 livescan sites (booking facilities), and several Full Function Remote (FFR) sites that support the booking facilities. These FFR sites also provide law enforcement agencies with individual mug shots, mug shot lineups, and the ability to launch searches of unsolved latent prints against the State's tenprint fingerprint database. Louisiana Computerized Criminal History system (LACCH) The Louisiana Computerized Criminal History system is also maintained by the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information, and contains arrest, disposition and incarceration information on individuals who have been arrested in the state of Louisiana. This system also contains information on individuals who are "Wanted" or who have applied for certain positions, which require a fingerprint based background check. The goal of the system is to compile the most accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive arrest and disposition information for arrested persons and to make this information accessible to all criminal justice agencies. Criminal history information is a valuable tool for law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. Law enforcement agencies have the capability to make inquiries of this system electronically through the Louisiana Law Enforcement Message Switch (LEMS). LACCH information is based completely on the fingerprint submission made at the time of arrest. The best and most timely method to submit arrest information is through AFIS. The criminal history record can also be manually updated when the Bureau receives inked fingerprint cards from those Sheriff's Offices and Police Departments not currently using AFIS. Expungements The bureau is also responsible for processing court ordered expungements, which require modification of criminal history records. Some court orders may require the complete destruction of a criminal record, while other orders require only that a criminal arrest and conviction record be sealed. The processing of expungements is a complex procedure, requiring extensive man-hours. State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry (SOCPR) The Bureau of Identification and Information also maintains the State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry (SOCPR) which is a central repository for information on convicted sex offenders, child predators, and sexually violent predators. This information is received, monitored, updated, and disseminated according to state and federal law. The goal of the registry is to compile the most accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive arrest and disposition information on convicted sex offenders, child predators, and sexually violent predators and to make this information readily available to the public as well as all authorized criminal justice agencies. Louisiana Department of Corrections is responsible for obtaining and supplying the information necessary for the registration of sex offenders. This information is forwarded to the bureau and placed on the web site. This web site is accessible by both the public and law enforcement. The web site assists the public in determining the proximity of convicted sex offenders to various areas in their community. It provides an updated photograph in conjunction with registration and conviction information. The public can also ask questions about the Registry via e-mail or by calling a toll free number linked directly to Registry personnel. Applicant Processing Criminal history information, when authorized by law, is also available for applicants for various employment. Such things as schools and day cares, health care, social services, medical professionals, individuals working in the gaming industry and regulatory agencies require criminal history screenings. Traffic Records Unit P.O. Box 66614, #A-27 Baton Rouge, LA 70896-6614 225-925-6156 The Traffic Records Unit is the central processing location for all accidents handled by Louisiana Department of Public Safety and State Police. The reports are processed by scanning the document into an "image" file and indexing it to allow electronic retrieval. Requests are received from the public, insurance companies, and attorneys for copies of the reports. These copies are handled by mail and in person. Headquarters Communications Unit P.O. Box 66614, #A-4 Baton Rouge, LA 70896-6614 225-925-6325 The Louisiana State Police, Headquarters Communications Unit, pursuant to Federal Regulations, provides oversight to the informational exchange between the Louisiana Criminal Justice system users and their counterparts throughout the world. The Louisiana Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (LLETS) is managed by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C), Louisiana State Police, and allows various authorized Criminal Justice entities to access and exchange critical Criminal Justice information. The Department also oversees access to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), the Interstate Identification Index (III), and the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS). These various systems are loosely defined as the "Law Enforcement Network." State Police is designated as the Control Terminal Agency (CTA) for Louisiana. The CTA is required to "Manage" the operations of the Law Enforcement Network and ensure Criminal Justice information access to local, parish, federal, and other criminal justice interests. This network consists of various databases and computer networks that provide essential information to the Criminal Justice community in the completion of their Criminal Justice missions. The CTA has established training materials that ensure users have an understanding of the requirements and policies of the system. This enhances the quality of the information exchanged as well as promotes operational compliance with system guidelines. Additionally, agencies are audited to monitor use and compliance with federal and state regulations. Monthly validations of entries ensure accuracy and validity of the stolen and wanted records that have been entered by the criminal justice agencies. Another part of management of the system involves monitoring the informational exchange between Louisiana Law Enforcement agencies and NCIC / NLETS. In conjunction with the Department of Public Safety Data Processing Center, State Police manages the network to ensure integrity and security both in the transactions and the users. Currently there are over 10,000 certified users and over 5,000 devices. Headquarters Communications also provides dispatch functions for State Police units assigned to Headquarters during normal business hours and answers calls for service or information. |
