BATON ROUGE - The death of two Brusly teenagers sparked a movement to educate law enforcement on high-speed pursuit training and policies.Building on that tragic event, State Sen. Caleb Kleinpeter and Rep. Chasity Martinez are proposing a black, specialty license plate to fund further education for law enforcement on high-speed pursuits.In 2022, two teenage girls were killed on New Yearrsquo;s Eve when a former Addis Police Officer ran a red light, crashing into and killing Caroline Gill and Maggie Dunn. Money raised from the purchase of a "Classic Black" specialty license plate will be used to pay for law enforcement to attend training for emergency vehicle operations.The plate will cost $25, in addition to the standard motor vehicle license tax.ldquo;These were two young, beautiful girls who lost their lives, and I commend the families to have such a good, positive attitude on this situation and to continue to push the representative and me on what we can do to improve the situation,rdquo; Kleinpeter said. ldquo;I think this is one step forward.rdquo;Last month, the pairrsquo;s family partnered with the Iberville Parish Sheriffrsquo;s Office to create technology that would notify drivers that a pursuit is active, among other things. The Pursuit Alert system is available through an app and provides real-time notifications to drivers. According to Sheriff Brett Stassi, Iberville was the first department to outfit deputies with the technology.Two years ago, Mississippi created its own black tag to create a death fund for the families of first responders who are killed in the line of duty.Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
