We are getting ready to come to Baton Rouge. Get ready, it's coming," Landry said. "I've been talking to Hillar. I've been talking to Sid. I've been, in fact, it's part of what I was doing a the White House as well, talking to the Department of Justice. We are going to get crime in the city under control."LSP said that command staff met with leaders from FBI offices in New Orleans and Baton Rouge to strengthen their ongoing collaboration. "Together, we built on our already strong working relationships, recent successes in New Orleans, and our shared commitment to intelligence-led, constitutional policing. By continuing to align our efforts and strategically combine resources with local, state, and federal partners, we reinforce our collective commitment to safeguarding the communities we serve, a responsibility strengthened through ongoing collaboration and shared purpose," the agency said on social media. Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
