Starting this month, Louisiana State Police will be adding Dodge Chargers to their fleet with a twist. Some of the new vehicles will be fully marked, while others will be semi-marked and a few will not be marked at all. State Police Lt. J.B. Slaton says the new less visible vehicles will allow Troopers to blend in with traffic and stop drivers who are reckless.
State Police have used a uniform logo up to this time. Slaton says using a “ghost logo” will help them blend in better which hopefully translates to safer driving.
State Police realize there will be drivers who think they are trying to camouflage themselves better, especially with the less visible reflective silver lettering and logos and lower profile blue lights instead of traditional overhead light. But Slaton says safe law abiding drivers have nothing to worry about.
The interiors will retain the current safety features and equipment and trooper uniforms will remain the same.
