Louisiana State Police Honoring 90 Years of Service, Dedication, and Tradition

On July 28, 1936, the Louisiana State Police was officially established, beginning a legacy of service that has endured for nine decades.

From 102 officers serving across 11 districts to generations of Troopers who have answered the call since, LSP has evolved alongside the state and the people we proudly serve. Through changing times, new challenges, and countless milestones, one thing has remained constant: a commitment to protecting Louisiana with professionalism, pride, and purpose.

Today, we honor those who came before us, recognize the women and men carrying that legacy forward, and look to the future with the same dedication that has defined Louisiana State Police since 1936.

For 90 years, the principles at the heart of Louisiana State Police have stood the test of time and continue to guide every generation of Louisiana State Troopers:

Courtesy. Loyalty. Service.
