AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Domestic Violence Training: Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office and Shreveport Police held a leadership session on better handling violence against women, including officer bias and why cases can go unrecognized—aimed at improving investigations and survivor support. Local Elections & Public Safety: In Pearl River, Mayor Joe Lee won’t seek re-election, setting up a new mayoral race while a separate fight with Police Chief Jack Sessions continues over whether two School Resource Officers are qualified. Courts & Accountability: A St. Tammany judge ruled the sheriff can set security pay for Justice Center staffing, after a dispute over whether parish government reimbursed the sheriff’s office. AG Shakeup: Todd Blanche was sworn in as U.S. attorney general after a narrow Senate confirmation, as anti-abortion groups urged DOJ to revisit the Comstock Act’s use in blocking abortion pills by mail. Vaccines Policy Clash: President Trump signed an executive order pushing fewer childhood vaccines and splitting MMR, drawing immediate backlash from Bill Cassidy and public health experts. Louisiana Politics on the Ballot: Qualifying closed with a crowded U.S. House field—36 candidates for six seats—highlighting open races in the 5th and especially the 6th District. Tech & Government Surveillance: New Orleans is using AI to answer some 911 calls, while national reporting warns police are expanding autonomous drone surveillance. Food Safety: Taylor Fresh Foods recalled jalapeño products over possible Salmonella contamination, with no illnesses reported yet.
