Well, why can’t SP help on I-10?
Was that anywhere in the article?


The New Orleans chief says State Police does not have the capacity to help, saying they are overloaded with other work.

I've searched Google and can't find it but I'm pretty sure that parishes/cities contract with LSP for interstate traffic assistance. I know for a fact that JPSO defers all interstate and state HWY (for example Airline Drive) traffic duties to LSP. I'm not sure if JP pays for this or if NOPD gets a credit back from LSP but I think it is something along these lines. I think for a short period LSP was handling traffic on I-10 in Orleans Parish but the deal ended as NOPD wanted to take it back over. Anyone know about this?
