BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – The Louisiana National Guard is officially being mobilized to New Orleans.

According to a statement from a Pentagon spokesperson, up to 350 guard members have been activated on Title 32 status through February, 28, 2026.

“These National Guard troops will support federal law enforcement partners, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, as they enforce federal law and counter high rates of violent crime in New Orleans and other metropolitan areas in Louisiana,” the Pentagon spokesperson said.

While the statement from the Pentagon spoke about tackling crime in other areas of the state besides New Orleans, a spokesperson for the Louisiana National Guard clarified that, for now, guard members will only be deployed to New Orleans.

Service members are expected to start providing help to law enforcement shortly after Christmas. The guard will assist with security in the New Orleans French Quarter for New Year’s Eve, the Sugar Bowl, and during Mardi Gras events.

Gov. Jeff Landry spoke about the plans during an interview on Fox News.

“We know how to make cities safe, and the National Guard complements cities that are having high crime problems,” the governor explained. “Look at what the president’s done in Washington, D.C. When he wanted to send the National Guard into Washington, D.C., Louisiana was one of the first to raise his hand and say, our troops will go there and help you. And the city is so much better.”

As part of the mission, National Guard members who are currently serving in Washington, D.C., are expected to return to Louisiana.

“Our Louisiana National Guardsmen are highly trained professionals. Many of them supported law enforcement efforts in Washington, D.C. and are ready to support our home state,” said Maj. Gen. Friloux, the Adjutant General of Louisiana. “We’ve mobilized multiple times this year to support efforts in New Orleans and are ready to do so again for the next two months.”

According to officials, the guard will be under the authority of Gov. Landry and Maj. Gen. Friloux.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) – With New Year’s Eve celebrations just days away, Louisiana State Police is reminding drivers to make safety a top priority.

New Year’s is one of the most dangerous times of the year on Louisiana roadways. More drivers are on the road late at night, and alcohol is often a factor in serious and deadly crashes.

State police will have extra troopers out across the state, watching for impaired driving and other dangerous behavior.

“Fun can turn fatal very quickly,” said Casey Wallace, Louisiana State Police Public Information Officer. “People may do things they normally wouldn’t do at gatherings like this. When judgment is altered, it becomes a recipe for disaster.”

Troopers stress that drinking and driving is never worth the risk. They encourage anyone planning to celebrate to arrange a safe ride home before the night begins.

LSP reminds folks that choosing a designated driver, rideshare service or taxi can help save lives and ensure the new year starts safely for everyone on the road.
