The Police Jury and
Sheriff’s Office recently received confirmation that
the Louisiana Department of Transportation and
Development (DOTD) will continue funding its share
of the Motorist Assistance Patrol (MAP) Program.
The MAP Program began in
2000 as a partnership between the Police Jury,
Sheriff’s Office, and DOTD, and 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, providing gas and water, and
moving vehicles. They also assist other local law
enforcement personnel on accident scenes, and
provide backup for various incidents.
For MAP assistance,
motorists should call 911 and give their name and
location. For more information on this program,
contact the Sheriff’s Office at 491-3600.
