He said his administration has been in conversation with the Department of War to put plans in place. The governor requested the activation of up to 1,000 troops on Sept. 29, citing a need due to violent crime in Louisiana cities.
“We’re looking at the city of New Orleans, possibly sending some into the city of Baton Rouge, maybe Alexandria. I don’t know, we’re going to determine that based upon the amount of violence that we see in those cities,” Landry said.
He previously stated that police departments in New Orleans and Baton Rouge need assistance amid staffing shortages, and that the National Guard would serve as a “force multiplier.” On Oct. 1, the Louisiana National Guard said it was preparing for a possible mission to support local law enforcement.
Earlier this year, guardsmen assisted law enforcement in the aftermath of the New Year’s Day terror attack in the French Quarter and during the Super Bowl.
