Executive Director's Message
“Be the Change / Be the Difference”

On Behalf of InfraGard Louisiana, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our InfraGard Louisiana website. InfraGard is a public / private partnership between the FBI and the private sector, more specifically the sixteen DHS CISA aligned critical sectors, whose mission is to network and share timely / actionable information for the purpose of public safety and protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure. Nationally recognized amongst 77 Chapters, InfraGard Louisiana is known for “making things happen”. Currently, InfraGard Louisiana has two major outreach projects, The Louisiana State Police Next Generation Re-entry JSOP (Joint Standard Operating Procedure) and The 2018 InfraGard Louisiana School Safety Initiative Multi-Hazard Toolkit, both of which have garnered national attention. The Louisiana State Police Next Generation JSOP utilizes a NIMS / ICS* compliant statewide placarding system that allows for seamless transition through multi jurisdictions, while the 2018 Louisiana School Safety Initiative Multi-Hazard Toolkit provides school jurisdictions guidance on developing a comprehensive school safety program. InfraGard Louisiana has also been host to numerous (12 currently) FBI Threat Briefs (physical / cyber), and has successfully conducted three advanced Cyber Security “Capture The Flag” Workshops, commonly referred to as “TigerTrap”.

Message From the FBI Coordinator

Welcome to the InfraGard Louisiana Chapter! I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 18 years, and I have spent all of them assigned to the New Orleans Field Office. In my career, I have been responsible for investigating various federal crimes including: public corruption, computer intrusions, and foreign counterintelligence. Over my career, I have learned the value of working closely with our private sector partners, and I genuinely enjoy doing so. I look forward to working with my fellow InfraGard Louisiana members to keep our communities safe. Honored to be in your service.

SA Malcolm J. Bezet (Jerry)
FBI Coordinator
