The
Calcasieu Parish Police Jury and the Calcasieu
Parish Sheriff's Office renewed a joint services
agreement on Thursday, July 24, 2003, for continued
operation of the Motorist Assistance Patrol (MAP)
Program for a one-year period.
 The
MAP program, which began in 2000, consists of two
vehicles that patrol along I-10 between Highway 27
(West) and Highway 397 (East) as well as the entire
I-210 Loop.
MAP vehicles are
equipped to provide a variety of services, which
include fixing flats, supplying gas and water, and
moving vehicles. They also assist other local
law enforcement personnel on accident sites, and provide
backup for various incidents.
For MAP assistance,
motorists should call
911 and give their name and location. The
nearest MAP vehicle will respond to the call and
provide assistance.
For more information on
this program, contact the Sheriff's Office at
491-3600.
