Seventh Annual CALEF Golf Tournament Helps Provide 50 New Safety Vests to Local Officers

The 7th annual Capital Area Law Enforcement Foundation golf tournament brought out around 150 golfers this year, raising funds to donate 50 new ballistic vests to multiple area police departments.

Each vest costs roughly $2,000, making this a meaningful boost for officer safety across Baton Rouge and the surrounding communities. Departments receiving vests include BRPD, LSU Police, and Southern University Police.

CALEF began in 2016 and has since donated more than 2,500 protective vests region-wide. Strong community support and local business sponsorships helped make this year’s tournament one of their most successful yet.

The LSU women’s basketball team opened their season in dominant fashion tonight at the PMAC, cruising past Houston Christian 108–55.
