Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to the severe shortage of police officers across the state.

Landry's executive order issued Thursday lifts limits on how many new employees Louisiana sheriffs can hire and on payroll increases for their departments.
 
The Louisiana Sheriff’s Association estimates that sheriffs’ offices statewide are currently short by approximately 1,800 deputies, leading to challenges in maintaining adequate staffing levels and increasing response times to emergency calls.

In light of the statistics, Governor Landry issued the executive order to address the pressing need for additional law enforcement personnel.
