According to the Acting U.S. Attorney Ellison Travis, Louisiana’s Victim of Crimes Act (VOCA) Victim Compensation program was given $2,104,000 to reimburse victims for medical, counseling and out-of-pocket expenses caused by crime.
The remaining $17,103,912 was given to local community organizations and public agencies that provide services directly to crime victims, including counseling, criminal justice support and advocacy, shelter, therapy, and information and referrals.
The goal of LCLE is to improve the operations of the criminal justice and juvenile justice systems and promote public safety.
In January 2025, Baton Rouge Police Chief Thomas Morse announced that overall crime in Baton Rouge had decreased, but homicide numbers rose by 5% from 2024.
