House Resolution No. [insert number] urges the House Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs, or a designated subcommittee, to conduct a study on the effectiveness of neighborhood crime prevention and security districts in Louisiana. These districts, established under Louisiana law, are designed to address local safety concerns through specialized geographic zones, overseen by governing bodies that include local officials and community members. The resolution highlights the need to assess whether these districts have successfully reduced crime rates, particularly in Orleans and East Baton Rouge parishes, and to evaluate the efficiency and alignment of the funds generated from parcel fees with the districts' objectives.

The resolution mandates that the findings of this study be reported to the House of Representatives by March 1, 2027. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of enhanced security measures, such as increased law enforcement visibility and the use of surveillance technology, on crime reduction. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of these districts and ensure that the resources allocated for crime prevention are being utilized effectively.
