My understanding is that the money for St. George policing essentially stays the same because it won’t have its own police department and will rely on EBRSO. Which it was already paying for.
So BRPD will be LESS funded and EBRSO will stay stagnant no?
So on the basis of staff and policing it will only make crime get worse
I think the city of St. George may have to contract EBRSO for police services, once incorporated. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
If so, it might mean a funding increase for EBRSO. But it will still be a decrease for BRPD, and it won’t change the fact that EBRSO doesn’t do any police work within the BR city limits (which is the source of the vast majority of the crime anyway).

The EBRSO provides law enforcement for the entire parish including the City of Baton Rouge. Historically they have focused their patrols and enforcement in unincorporated areas that have no other law enforcement available to them, this includes the area that is now the City of St. George. They will continue to provide the same level of service to the new City unless 1. Additional funding is provided by the City to increase the current staffing level, 2. The City determines they would benefit from a stand alone police department and provides specific funding for such.
