Senate Resolution No. urges collaboration among the Louisiana State Police, the Louisiana Department of Health's office of behavioral health, and the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice to develop best practices and model programs aimed at preventing and intervening in gun violence. The resolution highlights the significant financial burden gun violence places on Louisiana taxpayers, costing the state approximately $14.3 billion annually, with a disproportionate impact on black residents who are ten times more likely to die from gun homicides compared to their white counterparts.

The resolution emphasizes the effectiveness of targeted prevention and intervention strategies, which have been shown to reduce violence significantly when focused on high-risk populations. It calls for the identification of successful community-based programs, such as street outreach and hospital-based interventions, and encourages the allocation of resources to support these initiatives. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to address the root causes of violence, provide crisis support, and facilitate healing for victims and survivors through comprehensive community-driven approaches.
